Prime Minister Skerrit\u00a0<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Residents of Bagatelle and its surroundings will benefit from a $2.3 million dollar Bailey Bridge which will allow better road access to residents of that area.<\/p>\n

Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit said his government is looking forward to the completion of the bridge.<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u201cThis bridge we are constructing, it\u2019s a Bailey Bridge that has cost the government $2.3 million,\u201d he said. \u201cIt was a massive investment in the small village.\u201d<\/p>\n

According to him, the completeness of the bridge was a major sore point for the vast majority of the residents of Bagatelle.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know there are people who have felt that the monies could have been spent otherwise, because there are very few homes beyond this bridge and many people felt that we could have relocated these residents across the bridge, therefore the cost of investment would be much lower than we are investing now,\u201d Prime Minister Skerrit stated.<\/p>\n

The prime minister said he understands that people have become accustomed to their homes of so many decades.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s where they have their holding; that’s where they have their homes and we respect that so we decided to proceed with the construction,\u201d Skerrit stated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Residents of Bagatelle and its surroundings will benefit from a $2.3 million dollar Bailey Bridge which will allow better road access to residents of that area.
