Richard S. Lewis, Member of Parliament for St. John’s Rural West, has publicly commended the Ministry of Works and its road crew for their recent efforts in repairing a critical section of road in the Hatton area. The repairs, which address a long-standing issue, were completed following persistent advocacy by Lewis, who had previously used personal resources to provide temporary solutions for residents affected by the deteriorating infrastructure.
In a statement, Lewis expressed his gratitude, highlighting the specific stretch of road west of Martin’s Shop leading to the Spanish Church of God of Prophecy. ‘The Ministry has delivered relief,’ he said, acknowledging the hard work of the crew and the positive impact of the repairs on the community. He also emphasized his commitment to continuing his advocacy for further infrastructure improvements across the constituency.
The road repairs come after months of growing concern among residents about the poor conditions of roads in Hatton and surrounding areas. Lewis’ efforts to bring attention to the issue have been instrumental in securing the necessary government action. The completion of these repairs marks a significant step forward in addressing the community’s infrastructure needs and improving the quality of life for residents.
Lewis concluded his statement by expressing optimism about future developments, stating, ‘We are indeed grateful for the roadworks done to date and look forward to continued relief throughout the constituency.’ His remarks underscore the importance of collaboration between elected officials and government agencies in addressing public concerns and delivering tangible results.
