A $200,000 facility soon to be erected at Titou Gorge in Laudat is anticipated to save the community and country some “embarrassment” as it will\u00a0 provide a bathroom, changing room and other amenities for tourists.<\/p>\n

This is according to Chairman of the Laudat Village Improvement Committee (LVIC) Aaron Rolle, who said that for many years visitors to the site have been left to use the nearby bushes as toilets and changing rooms due to the lack of such a facility.<\/p>\n

Rolle, who spoke at an LVIC public meeting with villagers at the Laudat Primary School Thursday night, said that there have been several pleas from villagers to the Government for this project over the years and is pleased to have finally been heard.<\/p>\n

The government of Dominica has made the funds available and construction will begin in the near future, according to Rolle.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor some time now I have been in negotiation with the government to set up a facility at Titou Gorge because this is something that is needed. It is a very important project. Titou Gorge is a major site for tourists and is one of our main spots in the community to take a bath and swim, so we need a facility there … There is $200,000 put into the budget this year to construct that facility,\u201d he told members of the community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe community and the country needs it as well because it\u2019s not only an embarrassment to us in Laudat but to the country, because when you have tourists coming here and they have to go to the nearby bushes as a bathroom, or the husband has to hold a towel\u00a0 to let his girlfriend or his wife change off clothes. It doesn\u2019t t look good for the country, so I think we need to take it seriously,” according to Rolle.<\/p>\n

Rolle said that he hopes for speedy completion of the project. Details of the project are currently being worked out.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"A $200,000 facility soon to be erected at Titou Gorge in Laudat is anticipated to save the community and country some “embarrassment” as it will\u00a0 provide a bathroom, changing room and other amenities for tourists.
