St. John’s Consultation Set for Jan. 29 to Address City Infrastructure and Cleanliness
Property and business owners in the City of St. John’s are being invited to take part in a public consultation later this month aimed at addressing key infrastructure and quality-of-life issues affecting the capital.
The City of St. John’s Consultation is scheduled for Jan. 29 at 5 p.m. at the John E. St. Luce Conference Center on Sir Sydney Walling Highway. Organizers say the forum is intended to give stakeholders an opportunity to raise concerns and contribute ideas on improving conditions within the city.
“The future of St. John’s starts with you,” Social and Urban Transformation Minister Rawdon Turner said. “Join us for a City Consultation on January 29th at 5 p.m. at the John E. St. Luce Building. Property and business owners are encouraged to attend.”
Topics slated for discussion include city aesthetics, garbage collection and disposal, curbs and drains, road infrastructure, littering issues, and the demolition of derelict buildings.
Several senior government officials are expected to participate in the consultation, including Prime Minister Gaston Browne, Social and Urban Transformation Minister Rawdon Turner, Attorney General Steadroy Benjamin, Housing and Works Minister Maria Browne, and Tourism, Civil Aviation, Transportation and Investment Minister Charles Max Fernandez.
The consultation is being promoted under the theme “Your City. Your Voice,” highlighting the role of public participation in shaping urban renewal and development efforts within St. John’s.

If they really deal with derelict buildings, that alone would make a big difference.
St. John’s should be the pride of the country, but right now it doesn’t reflect that. Serious planning and follow-through are needed.
I am happy that stakeholders are invited to share and participate in the government plans to improve the city
Recently, I was listening to a tourist traveler who seem to be island hopping and moving from island to island in the Caribbean and he was doing these “live” as he moved around each island. Though he loved Antigua, our beaches, our historical sites and a few other places, his assessment, evaluation and appraisal of St. John’s was not very pleasant and complimentary. I know we all love our country and I hope that this forum/consultation would lead to the serious improvement of the aesthetics and the artistic taste of St. John’s City.
