    well now they have appointed three more councilors , i hope they make a wise decision in electing the chairman.Mr. ashille grove is the man for the job so people vote wisely and give the man a chance to bring some changes in the village . he has the energy and he has done it before, besides the people of good hope has spoken through their ballots and voted him in a landslide victory . it would just be wise to give the majority what they would like to see , mr grove as the person in charge and ofcouse the spokesman for the team..

    Congratulatons to the team of G/Hope.The people have spoken and quite rightly they know what they want.I know Ashille and his team will do a fantastic job in G/hope.My main concern is that landslide above G/Hope for the Govt. to clear.It is long overdue.It is time that the people of G/Hope, SanSauveur, and P/Soufriere open thier eyes and tell Govt. that enough is enough. Come on man. Next election our motto will be “NO ROAD, NO VOTES”

    There is something wrong with this picture. Wasn’t Ashille the main organiser? Why is the main organiser competing? Isn’t that conflict of interest?
    Some might call this negative vibes and that’s your opinion but I hate seeing my people taken for fools.

    The other organisers are very smart and educated people and they know better but they won’t do anything about it because the NICE and SWEET Good Hope people will do nothing but go along for the ride. SMH!!!

An organizer and a leader!!! Excuse you?! You just made the man look more good! it has nothing to do with taking people for a ride! hmmm. It is important to get the people to vote and that is what he did! Hooray fro Mr. Grove..
