Residents of Rose Town in South St Andrew are confident that the heavy cloud of violence that has hovered over the community in the past is slowly blowing away, even though sporadic shootings continue to stymie efforts towards a lasting peace.
" The future of Rose Town is very bright. I know that. But you still have some people who don't believe," said Patricia Sandford, past president of the Rose Town Benevolent Society.
