CABINET NOTES:<\/strong><\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Minister of Works reported on many of the projects which the Works Department has begun to undertake, since the expanded portfolio was passed to her.<\/p>\n

Work has already commenced on Lablahlie Road, including the completion of the sub-base.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

The Road was completely unusable by residents; over the past week, the PWD trucks have delivered the aggregates, the machines and the manpower required to bring the road to a passable state.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

Although the resurfacing of Anchorage Road has been halted temporarily, that is to enable APUA to plant new water-pipes to replace the 60 year-old cast iron pipes under the road.<\/p>\n

The resurfacing will recommence in two weeks or thereabouts.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Works Department will also fix secondary roads in every district, spending a period of time in each before moving on.<\/p>\n

The Ministry of Works will also immediately send a team to the Boys Training School to fix the kitchen and to improve several of the sleeping rooms that are in disrepair.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

The Cabinet agreed that the Ministry of Works is off to a good start. Members applauded the collaboration between the Minister of Utilities and the Minister of Works.<\/p>
