‘We not hearing much bragadam when we drive these days'- Premier
Premier Wheatley said Minister Rymer has been doing a lot of road works, including paving. “I drove down Joe’s Hill and it was such a big difference….because for many years we saw some areas had asphalt and some areas didn’t, it was very uneven, and a lot of our taxi drivers use that route to Cane Garden Bay.”
The Premier also noted that road works have been carried out in the Prospect Reef-Slaney area and Duff’s Bottom.
Not much ‘bragadam’
Road paving, including to the airport, was also done on the eastern end of Tortola.
“That has made a tremendous difference for persons landing at the airport. They have a much smoother ride going into the east. You know, before it was a bit bumpy, and that was when they were talking about bragadam, bragadam.
“So we not hearing as much bragadam when we drive now these days,” Premier said, acknowledging Hon Rymer for his “leadership.”
Sea Cows Bay roads will be addressed 'very soon'
The Leader of Government Business noted; however, that road infrastructure repairs take time and acknowledged there are a lot of other areas that need to be addressed, including in Sea Cows Bay.
“Persons should continue to be patient because very soon you will actually see more work in that particular area, to improve the infrastructure there.”
Dr Wheatley said he was in West End prior to his appearance on Virgin Islands Voice and noticed there were some areas that “need some attention.”
“The people of West End can be assured that the Minister of Communications and Works is going to reach down there very soon,” Hon Wheatley stated.
The Premier said his government wants to have a standard when it comes to road infrastructure, including having more drainage, sidewalks and street lights.
