The Minister of Public Housing, Environment, Spatial Planning and Infrastructure (Ministry VROMI) Hon. Maurice Lake announced on Wednesday that, his back to basics approach for the holiday season will entail the placement of milled asphalt to level the sides of the roads leading into Philipsburg to create more parking. Motorists can also use the Ring Road for the holiday season.
Minister Lake also disclosed that milled asphalt will also be placed along sides of the road in Simpson Bay in the vicinity of Kim Sha Beach and the open lots near the Windward Islands Bank branch location in Simpson Bay.
"These little simple things make a difference in a community. Better parking improves parking overall where motorists won’t have to navigate and park in a restricted area. It’s all about making things easier and convenient for the people of our country and it’s all about going back to basics," Minister Hon. Maurice Lake said on Wednesday.
