NDP's ‘Juggy’ vows to assist hurricane-affected areas in D5
Two years later, according to the fifth district candidate—who is running under the same NDP 1 party accused of doing little to help citizens’ plight—Mr Harrigan says he recognises that there are still many persons in the district without roofs and suitable environments to lay their heads at nights.
Immediate Attention
“Restoration of homes and businesses in the district is of paramount importance… roads, drainages, grooming our roadsides and properties are some of the areas for immediate attention,” Mr Harrigan said on the evening of Tuesday, January 29, 2019, in addressing those gathered at the NDP’s Fahie Hill District Rally.
“I will continue to assist to have these areas rectified quickly… given available resources and manpower, not only from government but also other organisations that were and still are instrumental in our recovery,” he promised.
Further, in a move to combat some of the social ills facing today’s youth, Mr Harrigan called on parents to enlist their children in service organisations, institutions and clubs.
“When I was growing up the first thing that was introduced to me was scouting and service organisation,” he said.
“Therefore, I would like to strongly suggest to parents today to encourage your children to join these organisations to help build character, appreciation for community involvement, personal development and better persons to come.”
Back to Basics
“Let’s get back to basics,” he added, as he listed a number of clubs that exist today including those of churches.
He gaved himself a pat on the back for creating the Resource Centre in Huntums Ghut when he was in office previously and insists that it needs to be restarted, “We also need to restore the community centre in Long Trench to bring back programmes to fuel our retirees and allow them to interact with and teach our youths.”
Harrigan also plugged that sports tourism should continue to develop the territory’s youth and spent some time elaborating on ways the Fifth District can become a huge tourist destination in the Virgin Islands (VI).
