As Barbados enters a period of intense electoral campaigning, incumbent St Peter representative Colin Jordan has declared his candidacy with robust confidence, citing a portfolio of tangible accomplishments both within his constituency and at the national level. The Barbados Labour Party (BLP) stalwart articulated his re-election platform during an address at Coleridge and Parry School’s annual speech day, framing his bid as a continuation of proven leadership and measurable progress. Jordan’s campaign narrative is fundamentally anchored in extensive infrastructure enhancements, enumerating a comprehensive list of roadways that have undergone significant upgrades, including Station Hill, Clarke’s Gap, Chapel Street, Garden Alley, Black Bess, and Skeetes Road. While acknowledging that certain projects remain ongoing, the MP emphasized the transformative impact of these developments. Beyond transportation networks, his report to constituents highlighted critical advancements in environmental initiatives and the resolution of protracted land tenure disputes in areas like Maynards. Utility modernization formed another pillar of his report, with the installation of new water pipelines in the Boscobel area cited as a key achievement. Economic revitalization, particularly through tourism, featured prominently in Jordan’s remarks. He pointed to the successful refurbishment and reopening of a local jetty, now in its second full operational season, and heralded the commencement of new construction at Penry and anticipated development work by Sandals at Heywoods as catalysts for local economic activity. Bridging his national ministerial role with local impact, Jordan connected broad policy reforms—including the introduction of paternity leave, extended maternity leave, and the establishment of a national minimum wage—to their direct benefits for St Peter families and workers. He framed the upcoming election as a referendum on this seven-and-a-half-year partnership, asking constituents to judge his performance on this track record. However, the dialogue also surfaced persistent constituent concerns, particularly regarding intermittent water supply and unreliable garbage collection services. In response, Jordan provided detailed explanations for water discoloration issues in Boscobel and Six Men’s, attributing them to ongoing pipe replacement projects in northern St Lucy and St Peter. He outlined broader challenges within the water infrastructure system, including pressures on the Allendale well and reservoirs, but assured residents that work at the Hope site in St Lucy is expected to deliver relief in the near future. On waste management, the MP acknowledged collection delays, citing high demand, vehicle availability constraints, and access difficulties in smaller communities like Mount Brevitor, but expressed confidence that imminent solutions are being finalized. St Peter remains a historically significant BLP stronghold, previously represented by the late Prime Minister Owen Arthur.
