Published

The government is making significant strides in enhancing infrastructure in the Lightfoot and Law Pasture areas, focusing on roadwork, base preparation, and beautification efforts.

These initiatives aim to transform communities that have long awaited improvements, promising a brighter future for residents.

Agriculture Minister Anthony Smith has pledged to prioritize road improvements across the constituency. While the commitment is strong, he emphasizes that progress will take time, and he urges the community to be patient as these essential upgrades unfold.

    They should speed up the processes. I don’t know why they tend to be very slow. Could it be that the government doesn’t pay them as it should?

    We want better roads in All Saints. The Alfa Nero money should be used to fix some roads instead of pay off debts. It seems the same debts that we pay off we will be further indebted by the amount of money that we will spend on defending the government in that litigation matter. So we didn’t really clear off any debt but plung ourselves further into debt. So I guess what is left is the taxes imposed on vehicles. And still I don’t see how the government can address all the roads so quickly. My tires…my back…my shocks…my chest…a pregnant woman will go into labour prematurely driving on these roads but what does maria care? She drives a Prado while most of us catching hell in our vitz

    The Government is working on infrastructure in the Lightfoot area, but it seems like they are forgetting the roads in the Lightfoot West CHAPA DEVELOPMENT HOUSING PROJECT.
    These roads are sooooo terrible it is causing us more to maintain our vehicles since everyone knows they are of high maintainance.
    Our vehicles that were brand new and in perfectly good conditions now sounds like old ones
    We are please asking for urgent attention

    All well and good,Mr Smith these residents have been suffering for a long time. More important though, you as minister of agriculture should be concentrating on the crisis facing us and our food import problem. We need a proper food infrastructure development and start whole tun a planting and less importing. You think trump a mek joke wid arwe?
