Mentally ill person now occupying old Gov’t Admin Building- Hon Marlon A. Penn
Hon Penn was at the time speaking at the Tenth Sitting of the First Session of the Fifth House of Assembly on May 2, 2024, when he also mentioned that the building now houses people, including a mentally ill man.
“I saw a young man living in that building, there’s people living in the building right now. I shudder to understand the condition of that building, a young man who is out in the open causing some disturbance, obviously has some mental challenges, is living in that building,” he added.
Meanwhile, Premier Dr the Hon Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) said his government has plans to repurpose the building as it has immense cultural and historical value to the territory. Dr Wheatley noted; however, that the Government has been very cautious in determining what plans are necessary to re-establish its use.
Funding requested for building - Premier
He said the Deputy Governor requested funding in the 2024 budget to repair the external facade of the building which is now creating a hazard for pedestrians and vehicles.
“This work will commence shortly, following the necessary procurement arrangements. The annex in the back will be restored for use by the Archives Unit, providing additional space for the retention and management of important historical documents dating back to the 19th century,” Premier Wheatley stated.
He said repairs to the roof of the old Administration Building will be undertaken and tender is expected to be issued shortly in addition to more restoration works to be undertaken by the Office of the Deputy Governor, in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Sustainable Development.
The Premier said he has since been informed that the building is secured and that a mentally ill man is only occupying the porch of the building. He promised to look into the situation, with a view to helping the individual.
“The member described a member of the community who is in distress and doesn't have a place to live. We're very sensitive to that and I do think that it would be appropriate for the Minister of Health to get together with his team and to see what support can be provided to the individual,” Dr Wheatley said.
