‘I will fight for you & I will listen’– Willock assures D3 residents
With current Third District Representative Hon Julian Fraser RA (R3) likely to retire from politics in the next election cycle, Willock as a resident of the area could take up the opportunity and run for the seat as a district representative.
Speaking on the February 11, 2024, edition of Real Talk with Karia J. Christopher, Mr Willock said whether or not he is running, his committee which includes Kisma P. Forbes has already set out to do a number of initiatives for the district. This has included a back-to-school drive, food pantry, and job fair.
'Gov't can't do everything'- Willock
Other initiatives, he said, include cleaning up the Sea Cows Bay harbour, new schools, infrastructure, and more, which can build on the legacy of Honourable Julian Fraser. “Government cannot do everything. Government's coffers are limited and that's why we're proud, that my approach, is that we're going to tap into the private sector,” he said.
“99% of the things that we have done for District 3, my committee and I… are private sector driven, whether it's through Nanny Cay, whether it's through Scrub Island, whether it's through Long Bay… and I have a long list of sponsors and supporters,” he said.
Willock emphasised that the government's coffers are limited and there are a lot of competing interests, but his team has been privileged to get support from the private sector to execute some of his initiatives for the Third District.
More to come
Mr Willock added that an initiative will be soon announced for seniors and that it is a private-sector partnership for the district through a five-year plan.
“Whether I’m elected or not elected we will continue helping our people because, as I said, three things, you have to love people, you have to love country, and you have to have integrity,” Mr Willock said.
Bringing back horse racing to the Third District is also a big priority for Mr Willock.
He added that he will continue to champion the cause of the people in the Third District. “I will not let you down. I will fight for you and I will listen and we're simply building on the legacy of the current district representative who I have the greatest respect for, the Honourable Julian Fraser,” Mr Willock stated.

Speaking for my Village of Carrot Bay. Since the Hurricane of 2017, our Isabella Morris Community Center, which was also used to feed the Elderly, has been damage/distroyed. What happen to the Funds that was allocated? I could not get an answer from Premier Fahie Administration. Also the roads are shameful and in need of repair, and the Projected that was started in lower Carrot Bay was stopped, with no explanations, What happened? Was the Funds that was allocated diverted to another project somewhere else?
