The newly expanded Ministry of Housing, Works, Lands and Urban Renewal has identified infrastructural development as one of its top priorities during the new term of the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party administration.
Parliamentary Secretary in the Ministry, Senator Clement Antonio made the announcement at Government House following his swearing in earlier this week.
“I know a main focus will be infrastructural development in terms of our roads and drains and we will continue on to the housing revolution that the government started in previous terms,” he revealed.
Antonio said he is anxious to begin the work of fulfilling the ABLP’s manifesto promises to the people of Antigua and Barbuda.
“The work is there to be done and all one has to do is to ‘watch the ball unto the bat’,” he said.
Already, Works minister, Maria Browne, has instructed that work begin on Loblolly Street in Greenbay Hill.
Work, which began on the road several months ago, was never completed.
