Residents of McPond, All Saints, are witnessing significant road upgrades not seen in over 30 years.

The infrastructural improvements form part of an ongoing national effort to rehabilitate roads across Antigua and Barbuda.

“We are demonstrating once again that we prioritise our people,” said community spokesperson Lamin Newton. “What has not been done in the last three decades is now becoming a reality.”

Mr Newton commended the Ministry of Works, led by Minister Maria Vanessa Browne, for what he described as a clear commitment to delivering results.

“We have no doubt that Minister Browne and her team understood the assignment. We will continue until every single road is paved — every single one,” he added.

The road works in McPond are part of wider infrastructural upgrades being carried out in several communities across the island.

The Ministry of Works has yet to confirm a completion date but says it remains committed to improving road conditions nationwide.
