A new community outreach programme has been launched in the North Leeward constituency.
The initiative, North Leeward Community Outreach Programme (NLCOP), was launched on Saturday January 21, 2016 at the Chateaubelair playing field under the theme: Working together to build stronger communities.
According to government Senator Carlos James, coordinator of the outreach programme, the initiative was designed to foster greater community spirit and to improve the infrastructure within communities.
Senator James says that under the outreach programme, eight communities in North Leeward will benefit from infrastructure projects earmarked to improve the lives of persons in the North Leeward constituency.
According to Senator James, the outreach programme will see the construction of an afterschool learning centre, the rehabilitation of a vegetable market and a skills training facility and the rehabilitation of several small bypass community roads in North Leeward.
This Saturday residents of Chateaubelair will continue to rebuild the retaining wall at the Chateaubelair playing field, which was destroyed three years ago during the passage of a trough system. The next community project is expected to be the rehabilitation of small bypass road in Troumaca.
