CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda meeting today, Wednesday 22nd January 2025, has learned that certain elements within the Barbuda Council have acted to prevent work to begin at Louie Hill, Barbuda, where more than 200 homes, a mall, and other infrastructural works are to be constructed.
They have placed two government-owned trucks in the path of the excavator that has been authorized to commence the clearing of unwanted vegetation from land on which the new buildings are to be constructed.
In the interest of order and peace, the Cabinet took the decision to warn the Barbuda Council of the fundamental right which the Central Government exercises over crown land in Antigua and Barbuda.
The Barbuda Council is reminded of the Privy Council’s decision recently rendered, which the Council initiated.
The Cabinet wishes to ensure that no harm is suffered by anyone, and that no property is destroyed by the illegal action of the Council members.
The Cabinet continues to do its best to ensure that decisions taken by the Cabinet—to improve housing, to ensure legal ownership of land in Barbuda by those who reside there and those who were born on the island, and those citizens who qualify—are fulfilled.
As Barbuda develops, no-one is to be left behind, the Cabinet repeated. As Barbuda is brought into the economy of Antigua and Barbuda in a meaningful way, resistance by those who wish to stand in the way of progress cannot be tolerated.
The continued resistance of elements within the Barbuda Council shall not be permitted.

Leave the people of Barbuda alone. Let them be. Give them their land to do what they want. They believe they can develop their own lands let them have it. The government is concerned about Barbuda and making it St Barts but cannot even address basic road conditions on the mainland. What a thing!
“Give them THEIR land to do what they want”
STOP! SPREADING! LIES! Tell them to show their TITLE to this land that you claim is “THEIR” land!
@Observing::::OK…Leave them alone? Then leave my monies in Antigua and do NOT send any subventions… Let them provide for their own income. We need $$$$ to provide the roads and the lot you opined about…
What wrong with you garots
Ethnic cleansing
Do we want that for Barbuda
It happens in Antigua now most if not all the economic powers are not in the hands of indigenous people. I can tell you just a matter of time the people will realized their discomfort and rise up but it might be too late
The government’s warning to the Barbuda Council over the Louie Hill development is a crucial step in ensuring progress for the island. It’s important that all parties work together for the betterment of Barbuda, but we must also be cautious about maintaining environmental and community balance.
The situation surrounding the Louie Hill development is concerning. It’s essential that any obstruction is addressed swiftly to avoid delays in much-needed development. At the same time, it’s crucial that the concerns of the Barbuda Council are heard to ensure a sustainable future for the island.
