Government to Launch Road Issue Reporting App by April 2025
Citizens of Antigua and Barbuda will soon have a new tool to help address road maintenance issues, with the government planning to roll out a dedicated reporting app by April 2025. This innovative platform will allow residents to report potholes, water leaks, and other road-related concerns directly to a centralized database, streamlining the process for addressing infrastructure problems.
Housing Minister Maria Browne made the announcement during her presentation in the 2025 Budget Debate, describing the app as a game-changer for road management and public engagement. “This app represents a step forward in leveraging technology to improve our infrastructure,” she stated. “It empowers citizens to be part of the solution by directly reporting issues in their communities.”
The app will feature a user-friendly interface and GPS functionality, enabling users to pin the location of reported issues accurately. Once submitted, the reports will be sent to the Ministry of Works’ headquarters, where they will be logged and prioritized for action.
Minister Browne emphasized the benefits of this new system in improving response times and resource allocation. “The app ensures that our teams can address issues more efficiently, reducing delays and improving road conditions for everyone,” she explained.
Currently in its testing phase, the app is part of a broader effort by the government to enhance public infrastructure. It complements other initiatives, such as the introduction of zone inspectors and new equipment acquisitions aimed at improving road maintenance across the nation.
Citizens can look forward to downloading the app early next year, giving them a direct line to report and track the progress of repairs.

I look forward to this although no one will be surprised if the app crashes under the deluge of reports submitted by residents.

No words needed!!
The app is more costly than the roads,
This is a joke. Jumping before you’re walking. It sounds nice on paper. However, everywhere have potholes. And there’s a bunch of dirt roads all over the country. I have learnt hat government isn’t responsible for those. But it’s a terrible showing on the country. Forget the app for now. Fix what needs to be fixed, then get the app after as a part of your maintenance plan.
This would be going the same place as number portability, no where.
Oops! The phone app will create a benign atmosphere of the roads already fix since it will be tagged as acknowledge electronically. You can’t make this up, just keep the people believing, I guess Gaston will say it’s an aspirational fantasy imagination of fixing the road .
Let me try to be helpful before thus app is rolled out, the first two roads in Bolans have 2 mechanic shops and those roads are virtually 1 way streets with the amount of vehicles parked on them, sometimes people have problems to park in front of their own proper
I honestly believe that this is a waste of time
You can call, if they answer the phone, and report the problem, or you can walk into hr office, or use the app, but one thing is constant
You’ll be told yes yes yes, but they’ll never come as there is no material, it that road isn’t priority.and if they show up, what’s the quality of work that will be done?
You’ll end up with poorly patch work, that over time will just be as bad as the road before they worked on it
It’s a sickening cycle
Antigua people still can’t get water to drink, and this buffoon talking about apps? Nobody answers the phone at most of the government offices, so who monitoring the app?
The government it self ah one darn big pothole chupz
What a joke. The goodly Minister received this suggestion on her desk, reviewed it, took it to cabinet and then to parliament and no one told her this is one of the dumbest ideas ever? Oh gawd. This is why sensible people keep quiet in this country because wth is this?
