"Road paving projects a priority"
PHILIPSBURG:--- Minister of Public Housing, Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure (Ministry VROMI) Hon. Maurice Lake announced on Wednesday that has capital expenditures budget has been approved.
The Minister's priority after the Carnival holidays will be road paving in several districts.
"At the end of the road paving projects I will be known as the Minister of Roads. More people in the districts will get work during the execution of these works. A lot of dirt roads will also be paved with the remaining milled asphalt from the airport.
"In my back to basics approach, we have to create as much opportunity for those in our districts despite the limited resources that we have.
"Other infrastructural improvements will be street lighting and sidewalks. It's the little things that count and make a big difference in the quality of life of our people.
"I will remain focused in what I am doing for the people of the country. I work in an open and transparent manner, and will be going back to the various community councils to review district improvements," Minister Hon. Maurice Lake said on Wednesday.
