Folks who live in the most northern parish of the country got their chance to speak on Monday night when the Government continued its series of public engagement forums.The cries of the good people ranged from challenges with farmlands, lack of housing, poor water quality, no water at all, pothole-filled roads, and poor bus service, to absolutely no bus service in some instances.Prime Minister Mia Mottley led the session. She was accompanied by MP for St Lucy Peter Phillips, Minister of Energy and Business Development Kerrie Symmonds, Acting Minister of Transport, Works and Water Resources Dr Rommel Springer, Minister of Home Affairs Wilfred Abrahams, and key public officers. At the end of the three-and-a-half-hour session, the St Lucy residents who spoke laid bare all the challenges and frustrations that made life tougher than it should be for them.While the session was titled St Lucy Speaks and held at Daryll Jordan Secondary School, in many ways it mirrored the August 2022 St Andrew Speaks at Alleyne School in Belleplaine.
