Communities in the Paix Bouche Constituency will soon see the commencement of a number of projects thanks to their Hon. Parliamentary Representative, Roslyn Paul.

On Friday June 26th, the Hon. Parliamentary Representative made a presentation to the village councils of the constituency for priority projects in those communities.

Fifty-two thousand dollars went to the Paix Bouche Village Council.

“$1,200 will go towards continued assistance for the [community project on Marmiton road] especially for the transportation of material,” she said. “Another amount will go to the farmer’s group for the purchase of fertilizer for distribution among the farmers. “Also, most of the access roads are in good condition but there is a little lane in Paix Bouche. There are a few senior persons living in that lane so we need to alleviate their plight so some of this money will go towards the completion of the Bakery Road.”

Minister Paul hopes that a drainage situation on the Grand La Cou road will also be addressed.

Eighty one thousand dollars went to the Calibishie Village Council with $21,000 for washroom facilities and $50,000 towards Phase One of the Savanne Paille Road.

“We know Calibishie is a major farming community and [its feeder roads] is one of the projects which should be addressed by the Banana Accompanying Measures Programme but in the meantime we cannot let the farmer suffer while BAM is taking quite a while to materialize,” Paul said. “So through the Village Council and to create short-term employment for the people, we are providing $50,000 to start doing some work in some of the worst parts on the Savanna Paille Road.”

The Bense Village Council received $58,000 for the development of Medrick Road in particular.

That sum will also go towards fertilizer for the farmers and for the fishers of the area to further development their vending facilities.

An extra $15,000 will go towards washroom facilities for senior citizens in the communities of Bense, Anse de Mai and Anse Sol Dat.

    Every day one turns on a radio or D N O there is a what suppose to be good news hundreds of thousands of dollers for the constituencies where the D L P won the last election. Money for roads, fertilizer, boats ect . which brings to mind the promises made at wesley where one cousin was discarded for another . The chosen one promised to build roads at mopo, simper , a road from the high school at londondery to baptist and by doing this she unintentionaly told the people of wesley that her cousin and the D L P cared nothing obout them . The question is does the Dominica Labour Party Government represent Dominica or just the areas where they won the election? The road to simper has been neglected for many years when are they going to work that area ? at election time or until the seat is won ?

    What an insult to Dominicans. Parl Rep handing out Government cheese. BAM measures are delayed huh. See the double standard,lies and hypocrisy. Roosevelt Skerrit came out and said Salisbury people pretending that they dont know about the BAM but here it is that they are saying that Calibishi people cant wait on the BAM so they will give em something for the road.
    Marigot people who are they going to give money to share and patch your roads? Let us see.
    What a despotic regime

    Come on people of Marigot, Wesley, Woodford Hill. I notice that you all are never on the list!!!!!!! What about the repairs of the hospital????????? This is the closest medical facility to the airtport. I guess our government is a government of the people who voted for them not a government of the people for the people.

      Its me again I forgot to mention the hospital at marigot which is a disgrace and the D LP members should be ashame . I remember talking to a D L P supporter about the international airport that the U W P planned to build and his answer to me was we do not have a suitable hospital in the area and that would be a bad idea . Now we have planes landing even at night which is very dangerouse but no Hospital or proper clinic
