From the Desk of Mervin Hanley: “He was welcomed with a thunderous round of applause as he made his way to make his presentation to the homeowners. The Premier briefed the attendees on his government’s plans as it relates to new projects on the island. He addressed the matter of crime and indicated that this is a matter of priority for him and his administration, and he has moved swiftly to put mechanisms in place to curb this issue. This is the Premier’s first meeting with the homeowners since taking office and he has made the appeal for him and his administration to play an integral part in future meetings.”
