City Mayor Peterson Francis told attendees at the first Mayor’s Mix – Cocktail Party that priority will be given to beautification of Castries as the CCC aims to make the city the envy of regional capitals.
According to Francis, “We will see the transformation of the Bananes Bay area in collaboration with SLASPA and an enhancement to include benches and wifi at Constitution Park.
In addition, the market will be transformed, life will be brought occasionally to Serenity Park with live entertainment and the sludge treatment facility at Union will be relocated.
We will introduce clamping for illegal parking, (those clamps are already in my office), car-parks along the John Compton Highway and parking meters in the City within three months.
Character will be given to the building housing the City Police, Office of the Mayor, Castries Constituency Council and the City Hall through some major remodeling.
The City will also be beautified and redeveloped in partnership with our Government and a series of improvements to the City’s infrastructures will begin. We are awaiting the Castries re-development master plan from the Prime Minister’s office so we can proceed with much energy.
We will work closely with the Ministry of Local Government to improve several areas.”
