In light of recent road conditions, the All Saints West office has pledged the necessary resources to support ongoing repair efforts, reinforcing the notion that “it takes a village.”

Smith also announced that roadwork will resume this week, and comprehensive maintenance will be planned to enhance travel safety for all residents.

Additionally, the local government will initiate pond clean-up efforts in the area. Residents living near the ponds are advised to remain patient and cooperative during this important process.

    Public Works needs to split up the road crew and equipment into groups and different constituencies instead of having all the workers and equipment in one area. Take an example from the neighbouring island of St Kitts and Nevis. Public Works minister’s and road engineers travel overseas a lot, and they can take examples from other countries to get several roads rehabilitated done yearly. Public Works have the staff, equipment and materials so that should not be a problem. Split the road crew up in night and day shift.
