Jamaica Labour Party Leader, Prime Minister Andrew Holness says the privately owned Boston Beach, in Portland will be returned to the Government as a public access beach.

He made the disclosure while speaking at a party meeting in Port Antonio, Portland on Monday.

He also reiterated plans to build a bypass for Port Antonio starting at Boundbrook and ending in Boston.

Mr. Holness added that the bypass will pave the way for the development of more housing for residents.
