Newton Promises Roads, Housing and Healthcare Overhaul in All Saints East and St Luke<\/strong><\/p>

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

With just weeks before voters head to the polls, Lamin Newton is framing his bid for All Saints East and St Luke around a mix of personal ties, visible groundwork and a slate of ambitious commitments that touch nearly every aspect of life in the sprawling constituency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking on ABS Television\u2019s \u201cKnow Your Candidates\u201d programme, the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) candidate presented himself as both a product of the constituency and a hands-on figure already delivering results, particularly in infrastructure.<\/p>

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

\u201cThis is a very dear part of my life,\u201d Newton said. \u201cI was born and raised in All Saints\u2026 I feel that sense of responsibility that I have to play my part.\u201d<\/p>

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

Across the interview, one theme dominated Newton\u2019s platform: infrastructure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described decades of neglect, saying problems with roads and flooding stretch from All Saints through the southern corridor to Old Road.<\/p>

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

\u201cThat constituency has been neglected for far too long \u2014 20 plus years that no sort of infrastructure work has been done,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newton pointed to work already undertaken in the Follies community as proof of concept. Once plagued by severe flooding that left residents stranded during heavy rains, he said the area has seen drainage redesigns and road improvements.<\/p>

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

\u201cI gave them my commitment\u2026 and today, Follies no longer has the issue of flooding,\u201d he said.<\/p>

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

He framed the work not as campaign-season activity but as the start of a broader, phased plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe determine which road we\u2019ll do first based on a priority level,\u201d Newton explained, noting that flood-prone areas are addressed first before moving to secondary roads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also defended the use of concrete roads in vulnerable areas, arguing they offer longer-term resilience compared to asphalt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newton outlined a clear set of priorities for his first 100 days if elected.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cInfrastructure,\u201d he said, naming continued road improvements as his top concern.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also committed to completing upgrades to the John Hughes clinic within three months and improving conditions at the Sweets facility, including installing air conditioning to address heat concerns for patients and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sporting and recreational spaces form the third pillar of his early agenda. Newton said neglected facilities would be rehabilitated to serve both youth and the elderly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPeople need recreation\u2026 people need to be able to have that recreational time,\u201d he said, adding that he wants spaces where older residents can gather and spend time outdoors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Beyond infrastructure, Newton placed strong emphasis on housing \u2014 particularly for younger residents seeking land ownership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He revealed plans for a 50-acre plot of government-owned land to be subdivided and sold at subsidised rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cA plot of land\u2026 will be sold for $18,000 because we decided that we have to make it affordable,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The development, to be managed through the Central Housing and Planning Authority, would prioritise residents of the constituency while remaining open to others.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newton said the government would also provide essential infrastructure \u2014 including roads, electricity and water \u2014 to support the development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Healthcare is another cornerstone of Newton\u2019s pitch, particularly for older residents who, he said, repeatedly raised concerns during his canvassing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He promised a new clinic in Old Road within his first year in office and upgrades to existing facilities in Sweets and John Hughes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOld Road will receive a brand new clinic,\u201d he said, calling it a \u201csolemn promise.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newton added that funding would come from a mix of public resources and private donors, saying preliminary designs have already been completed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also pledged to secure an ambulance for the All Saints area, noting that commitments have been made by overseas donors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

While acknowledging complaints about inconsistent water supply, Newton argued the issue is no longer production but distribution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe disruption is coming from the re-piping issue,\u201d he said, pointing to ongoing national upgrades to replace ageing pipes, some more than a century old.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged patience, saying the improvements would ultimately resolve long-standing supply problems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newton also highlighted his work in education, presenting it as both a personal passion and a practical intervention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI find that education is the one thing that opens doors,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He currently funds scholarships for 40 students annually from Irene B. Williams School and All Saints Secondary School, covering additional tutoring to prepare for CSEC exams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The initiative, he said, responds to declining mathematics performance and the need for more personalised academic support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Looking beyond social services, Newton positioned the constituency as central to Antigua and Barbuda\u2019s food security.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He described the farming belt stretching across the area and the fishing activity in Old Road as critical national assets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI want to improve the food production\u2026 helping our farmers with clearing of lands, building dams, ponds, fertilisers,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also called for stronger safety regulations for fishermen, referencing recent incidents involving missing seafarers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newton faces a tough contest against Jamale Pringle, who won the seat in the last general election.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked how he intends to overturn that result, Newton pointed to grassroots engagement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s all about building relationships with the people\u2026 you have to go and knock on every door,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He stressed that his campaign is grounded in tangible delivery rather than promises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re not here just to talk\u2026 we are here to deliver,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Newton\u2019s candidacy reflects a broader campaign narrative from the ABLP centred on visible development and targeted constituency projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

His message blends personal identity \u2014 as a \u201cson of the soil\u201d \u2014 with a technocratic focus on infrastructure, housing and public services.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Whether that approach resonates with voters in All Saints East and St Luke will be tested on election day, but Newton has made one point clear: his campaign is built on execution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese aren\u2019t just election promises,\u201d he said. \u201cThese are promises that we will deliver.\u201d<\/p>\n
