Repairs to begin on Petite Savanne road

Dr. Darroux has revealed that two contracts will be awarded for the road repairs

Parliamentary Representative for the Petite Savanne Constituency Dr. Kenneth Darroux has announced that the Government of Dominica will soon award two contracts to conduct road repair work on the Petite Savanne road.

“I am pleased to announce that contracts are about to be awarded to two separate contractors towards complete resurfacing of the most deplorable areas from the entrance of Petite Savanne heading to the Bay Oil distillery. We are also looking at remedial works to be undertaken from the top of Morne Paix Bouche heading down to White River,” the Parliamentary Representative confirmed.

Darroux said the focus on the Petite Savanne road complements earlier road works done on the Dubique to Bagatelle road.

“I am pleased to announce that we have seen some improvement to the road from Dubique leading to Bagatelle. This aspect of the project has been fully done however the area approaching Petite Savanne certain areas within Petite Savanne and from Petite Savanne are still areas of concern,” he said.

Darroux is looking forward to the completion of this important road project.

“Upon completion of those works, we should see quite an improvement in the road conditions. I am sure that road users have already begun to see improvements and that these works can be completed so that vehicle owners and road users can be more comfortable while using these roads,” he said.

In October 2013, Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, Roosevelt Skerrit, during the launching of the Ti Savanne Reunion gave a commitment to the residents that the Government would repair the Petite Savanne road at the soonest possible time.

The Prime Minister also at that time confirmed that the Petite Savanne playing field would also be completed shortly.

    doc u should be ashamed of urself man,i understand that the road repair is Long overdue,but u had to make WAR with skeritt to get te Savanne road repaired,and what is more insulting he gave it to u when he knows that the petite Savanne community will shout HOORAY,stop fooling us,stop playing that primitive politrick stratedgy with us,u really helping them take us for fools,at least urban was a man towalk out of that nonsense because he respected his People,where is ur honor,respect and dignity for the People who believed in u and respected u.my vote isn.t yours anymore.

    Please remember, Urban got most of his development projects for the area under UWP. He was in Opposition between 1995-2000 and UWP built the Petite Savanne to Delices road, the Grand Secondary School, the FAB road and others… Urban cried under his party to get the water problem solved.. DLP treated Urban as an outcast after he took his blows in Opposition for the party to remain in existence. If UWP worked with Urban while he was in Opposition, they will work with him as part of Team Dominica…. We in Bagatelle are ready to work with Urban if he becomes part of the time.

Election is coming, votes will talk. Nothing can be said to have been done in the village. Well my vote gone for sure.

    Dr. Darroux, what about making a request to have the Petite Savanne health Center renovated? Does the relevant ministry know that the roof is like a basket and the wrought iron gate is something to cause you to take ‘tetanus’ shot because of the amount of rust?

      Anonymous why post it in here? Your post should have been “I am so sick n tired of complaining to DR Darroux about the condition of the health center and still nothing has been done.” BUT I bet u can’t write that rite cause u have NEVER even mentioned it to him but here u come writing it here like that’s going to make a difference!!!!

        That’s where you are wrong Vybezzz! As a former DMO and villager, he is quite aware of the condition of the building. Let alone, the district nurse is his first cousin. Furthermore, the relevant authorities are aware. So shut the hell up!

    Here is another one of those government so called ministers with “Degrees” this one is Dr Who?

    Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha:

    Then you have Dr. Douglas my whipping boy, ah picking on he again oui), and we have Dr. McIntyre, and all ( dem big time doctors in de Dominica government) yet they are still struggling to resolve our nation’s economic problems. I thought they say only people with their big time degree can run Dominica.

    This doctor here; each time we see him, his head is always down reading his script, I do not know what kind of doctor is he. He seems to be a man with absolutely no retention power, nor ability.

    If I wrote a script, I would be compelled to have something in my memory regarding what I wrote; so when I stand to give a speech I would stand and hold my head up high and speak, maybe I would have my script with me just in case a word or two evades me; then I would look at my script to recover the missing words, and proceed.

    Degree don’t give people commonsense, and commonsense is what theses doctors, and lawyers running our country does not have. And since I picking on dem big time doctors politicians, I will pick on me cousin Gloria Dods too; only to say to her this time I was informed of the passing of your younger sister recently, and the other relatives; the older lady, her name evades me, maybe I am senile at this moment, but I am sorry to learn of their passing: I extend my sincere condolences, to you Evans, Cyrus, Veran, I heard she was home.

    I do not know if Desmond is still alive in England.

      @gwaj This is the same kind of garbage you all fools used to say about Skerrit, to the extent that he has reduced imbeciles like you into beggars in your own land. This type of job has nothing to do with being cute. Your silly and ignorant comment is the cause of the poverty that has befallen this once prosperous country.

    Hmmmm so that was a press conference? You know that’s quite like my 18 year old telling me that he washed the dishes…. So what I would tell him, you are a member of the family you have to do your share.

    Dr. Darroux you and your colleagues patching holes to ensure that we have motor-able roads should not be a news maker, it is just one of those basic things that you should ensure that we have at all times and not after months of begging and crying.

    Darroux you are simply a waste of time. You are a terrible representative and you need to quit politics, since this is not your calling. You have failed the constituency full time. The people were yearining for a representative who is a Minister. You are one sir but alas you have not delivered, reasons why the majority of the young people will not vote you. You have failed them. Some of them do not even know you. Feel comfortable in your air condition vehicle, pass straight, and when election is around, come on DNO and spew thrash. MY VOTE IS NOT YOURS FOR SURE. iN FACT IT WILL BE TO SEND lABOUR pARTY PACKING.

    Stale news voting labour again would be an insult to the Petite Savanne Constituency, enough is enough we deserve better patching holes and surfacing some areas what happen after the distillery there are no more people living in tsavanne? the Road before Mr. Alford shop doesn’t even have words to describe. I am tired and sick of these political games.

        @DAHMAN Well i am from Galba in Petite Savanne and i will NOT be voting for this man. In fact wish is Urban that is going up against him. I will support Urban full time, and be one of his foot soldiers.Even if Urban does not win, but he will make so much inroads into the labour party support base, that you Darroux will quit politics before your time.
