By Deanna Isaac Public Relations Officer Ministry of Carriacou & Petite Martinique Hillsborough, Carriacou - The people of Carriacou are soon to have easier travelling access to the island’s Princess Royal Hospital. That’s because government is spending close to EC$1 million on reconstruction of the Top Hill/Belair road that leads to Princess Royal, the lone hospital in Carriacou. Senator the Hon. George Prime, Minister for Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs, has described the project as a “major accomplishment for the National Democratic Congress government. All previous governments have only made promises to reconstruct the road.’’ He added that it is important for residents on the eastern side of the island to have proper access to the Princess Royal Hospital. The repair project, which has commenced with the construction of drains and a retaining wall, involves work on about 2890ft of road. Two contractors, Karl Benjamin Construction Firm and Simon Lendore, are responsible for completing the project. Meanwhile, in the village of Mt. Desire, the Public Works Division within the Ministry of Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs is overseeing the construction of an 85ft retaining wall. Edward Modeste Construction is building the wall which is costing government over EC$17,000.
