The establishment of a Roseau Valley Tourism Development Fund, the launch of a Roseau Valley Disaster Committee and the repair of all feeder roads in the Roseau Valley are some of the plans United Workers Party (UWP) candidate for the Roseau Valley Constituency, Attorney Ronald Charles has outlined for that constituency.
Speaking to party supporters recently, Charles said it’s time to have a new vision for that constituency.
“We will ensure that we establish what is called The Roseau Valley Tourism Development Fund,” he said. “No longer you will have to worry, because what we are going to do is to make sure a percentage of the site passes goes to the Roseau Valley and we will ensure that anybody involved in the tourism product from that money, you don’t need no security, all you have to do is do what is right. That means to produce your tourism product, so [this what] what you have to do so that we can have more production.”
Another major tourism initiative, Charles said, will be the Three Lakes Project and gave the assurance that an environmental assessment will be done.
He also mentioned the expansion and repair all feeder roads in the Roseau Valley and the establishment of an agro-tourism initiative to include greenhouse farming.
The Aerial Tram, which previously operated in Laudat, will be revisited as well as the geothermal project, “because,” according to Charles, “we believe that if you want to move on with the geothermal project things have to be done properly…we want to make sure if we are getting a geothermal plant it is going to benefit not just the people of the Roseau Valley, but Dominica by extension.”
Charles is also promising, through a UWP administration, plans to reintroduce all village festivals of that constituency.
Plans are also in place to establish the Resource Centre.
Other plans include the construction of a multi-purpose resource centre and the establishment of the Roseau Valley Disaster Committee.
“The Roseau Valley is prone to a lot of natural disasters and therefore we need a committee from the Roseau Valley, a cross-section ensuring that if anything happens, God forbid, that we will have a strong system in place to take care of everybody across the Roseau Valley,” Charles said.
The UWP candidate who’s making a second bid to represent the Roseau Valley constituency in parliament, identified, among other plans, the equipping and staffing of “every Health Centre in the Roseau Valley” to ensure that they are operational, the establishment of a new housing scheme for those wishing to purchase their homes at a reasonable rates and scholarships for young people wishing to further their studies.
Charles also pledged to reopen the Wotten Waven Road.
“We have to build another alternative road in the Copthall area,” he revealed. “Copthall only have one exit and one entrance. We need to fix that, because if something happens to the people down there we want to make sure they can use the alternative road.”
A proper garbage disposal system for the Shawford community, via privatization, if necessary, Charles said, and the transformation of the basketball court in Trafalgar into a multi-purpose facility within the five years once the UWP gets into power.
Colin has done absolutely NOTHING for the valley! If the valley votes Irvin that would be a disgrace. We are no better of now than we were when he came in. I do hope they are just supporting because of what they can get….Is so it is already! Take what you can and vote DLP out of the valley – Zero representation in the valley! My Goodness! What a waste of my vote! We need better representation
@ DC, u lived in the Valley but I’m living in the Valley and my brother I’m not just saying what I want. I see it every so often with my 2 big eyes. Alu know damn well they only helping who supporting them. And just for your info I got nothing from alu coolout. Good thing they passed my house straight with that blood money. Iran want its money kamem. 90% of all u voting labour for d goodies and Doc Mac is indeed a caring man, but he is not there for long. He is there to win the sit for his brother Collins. Same wine, just a different bottle!
They making all these empty promises when they become the next government and at the same time protesting, marching, creating mayhem and want to stop the election from taking place. Does that make any sense? These guys are really fools.
Liars! You benefited more than the supporters. I lived in the Valley and I can attest, when I got zilch, you and your entire family got. Guess what, I am not supporting the Government for benefits. I support because I know it is the right choice. Search your conscience and stop spreading lies on the internet. Dr. Mac will win by a large margin. He is a caring man who has reached out to everyone in the Valley!
That’s my incoming parl. rep. If Collins had perform they wouldn’t have had to give him a replacement. And his replacement is just the same. Once they know you’re a UWP, assistance not for you. Irvin was doing house visits and his informants were telling him whose house to pass straight. Cool out sharing like rashion. Valley ppl wrong if alu want to sell alu soul for 30 pieces of silver, but I will not be bought.
My previous comment is for cd.
Well done, Ronald. We know you won’t let us down and do an excellent job.
