This is such an exciting opportunity! I’ve always loved how Heritage Quay and Redcliffe Quay honor our culture, and it’s great that the next quay can reflect the creativity and heritage of modern Antigua and Barbuda.
I can already imagine this quay becoming iconic. People will take photos and say, ‘I suggested that name!’ It’s a great way to connect citizens with national projects
Why is it restricted to just Antiguans and barbudans
