Marigot police station to be completed by end of January

The building which houses the Marigot police station 3 months after Hurricane Maria

The Marigot Police Station which was severely damaged by Hurricane Maria in September 2017 is expected to be completed by January 31st.

Police Chief Daniel Carbon made the announcement recently.

“I visited, just on Wednesday [Dec 2nd] gone, Marigot and Wesley Police Stations. Both stations are under renovation and I can say according to the contractor, when I spoke with him on Wednesday, that Marigot Police Station will be complete by January month end,” he revealed. “That is very good news.”

According to Carbon, the police officers in Marigot have been residing in 3 different rented buildings in that community.

He said that repairs to the severely damaged Wesley police station is progressing very well, “and I envisage Wesley being completed by March [2019].”

He said the Castle Bruce Police Station was completely destroyed and requires “almost a new building.”

“But works are progressing on the Castle Bruce Police Station…,”Carbon said. “Delices also is having some work done on the police station there.”

The police barracks in Morne Bruce, he added, also suffered a lot damage.

“But we have done renovation works on 3 of our barracks, 1 other barrack is now under renovation and it should finish very shortly,” Carbon noted.

    So my advise to the people and village councils of Marigot, Wesley and Woodfordhill is, as soon as the police station is finished, gather every sick person in those affected villages and carry them to the Marigot police station. They should carry their beds and mattresses and be sure to occupy every single room or office in the police station until they get their hospital. You can’t tell me you giving people house, giving them police station but you denying them their hospital that you destroyed. The people must learn to fight fire with fire and stop celebrating Skerrit’s EVIL!

      So you want to use sick people as a shield for political bad behavior. Is this what opposition forces have come to. Abuse of the sick and innocent. When you decide to take such action I will have no choice but to use any means necessary to defend my relatives. That surely will take me over the edge.

      Fight Fire with Fire what are you saying?? the building of a hospital can happen overnight??? is there a magic wand that once wave will place a new state of the art hospital in Marigot?? there is no need for planning and designing and from what i understood the draw down from the benefactor is a bit slow…

      Stop inciting people to do foolishness and you not even here to lead the cause stupes!!!! everything takes time i bet you have no problem waiting 9 months to see your baby and pray the child don’t come out in 6 months time… Jah encourages patience and that’s what we should advocate not stupidness, NO ONE IS DENYING MARIGOT A HOSPITAL ENOUGH OF YOUR BULL CRAP!!!!!!

    They won’ t build no schools anymore
    All they’ ll build will be prison, prison
    All they’ ll build will be prison, prison
    All they’ ll build will be prison, prison?
    ‘Cos today, yeah
    I am a prisoner
    I am a prisoner
    I’m a prisoner, dear Lord
    I asked the policeman and said? How much must I pay for my freedom?
    He said to me,? Son
    They won’ t build no schools anymore
    They won’ t build no hospitals

        None more ignorant than Skerrit supporters. I mean there it is all in front of you… but you keep on supporting your idol in the hope of getting a few dollars. No shame and spineless the lot of you!

        Joe Linton leave opposition forces to drown in their own puke of ignorance.
        Just look at the progression of construction technology that has been going on in Dominica. I see Police Station today, Hospital in Marigot next then INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT by experienced builders in that area and elseware in Dominica. WOW. Our PM is a great visionary planner.

        Joe, opposition forces are in a box of denial. They cannot see ,cannot listen and cannot think. They use the word “Shame” several times in a sentence or paragraph as though the are afraid that the word will soon go out of style. Go figure.
