As speculation intensifies regarding a potential early general election, constituents in St George North have delivered a nuanced assessment of their first-term representative, Toni Moore. The General Secretary of the Barbados Workers’ Union has garnered generally favorable feedback from residents, though significant concerns persist regarding infrastructure and political engagement.
During recent ground assessments in the central parish, Moore received acknowledgment for her efforts in addressing critical social needs. Multiple residents confirmed tangible improvements in housing assistance and repair programs, particularly noteworthy given Moore’s lack of ministerial portfolio. Several homes throughout the constituency have undergone substantial reconstruction through government initiatives facilitated during her term.
However, this praise exists alongside growing frustration over deteriorating road conditions. Residents in Flat Rock and surrounding areas report severe infrastructure degradation, attributing the damage to increased heavy truck traffic. The situation has reached critical levels, with vehicle damage becoming commonplace for local drivers.
The political sentiment reveals deeper complexities regarding constituent-representative relationships. While some seniors express satisfaction with Moore’s performance and predict she will retain her seat, others describe profound disconnection from the political process. A segment of the electorate reports disillusionment with political figures generally, citing insufficient engagement and perceived inequities in government assistance distribution. This has led some residents to consider abstaining from voting entirely, highlighting challenges in political representation beyond infrastructure issues.
