Dear Editor,
In the midst of the ongoing vehicle scandal, I can’t help but wonder if our representatives are sleeping on the job or simply failing us?
As a long-time resident of the All Saints East and St. Luke community, I am deeply concerned about the neglect our area continues to face. I am calling not only on our Parliamentary Representative, Mr. Jamale Pringle, but also on Prime Minister Gaston Browne and ABLP Caretaker of community Mr. Lamin Newton, to take a serious look at the conditions we are living under.
Mr. Pringle, while you are focused on criticizing what the Prime Minister is doing, your own constituency continues to suffer from years of disregard. The Government’s much-promoted clean-up and beautification initiative seems to have bypassed us completely. The grass in Folley’s is overgrown, and roads within the Folley’s Housing Development have become nearly impassable, some now dead ends because of neglect.
Prime Minister Browne, Mr. Newton and Mr. Pringle, we are appealing to you. Why must residents wait until election season to receive the attention and basic services we deserve year-round? The Ministry of Works must also be held accountable, as our roads are in deplorable condition and continue to deteriorate without any visible plan for repair.
We are tired, tired of waiting, tired of being ignored, and tired of promises that never materialize. It’s time for all our leaders, both in Government and Opposition, to put aside the politics and start addressing the real needs of the people they were elected to serve.

Shame to say that this is a community people dwell. It’s crazy that we allow these politicians to lie to us all day and sleep well at night. Tsk tsk tak
When will the empty promises stop. You vowed to serve a community but now the community is begging you while you focus on other things…. Tired of the same old same old
Your representative is the man that said he can do better than PM Browne? WOW
A cry that won’t be heard……. Pringle is busy focused on the vehicle scandal he has no time for his community people.
Food for thought. Moving right along
In many other communities also
not just those you mentioned
A sign of things to come
The ABLP government will punish the people of the mention constituency to try and get them to vote for ABLP candidate. No matter how the current representative beg for assistance.
Money spent on buying high end cars
People are struggling, communities are tired, and yet it’s business as usual. The letter speaks the truth
The writer makes a valid point. It sometimes feels like our representatives forget who put them there.
