LETTER: PM Gaston, Hon Maria Browne All Saints Road Vehicle Abuse

31

I was a twice ABLP Voter in the last election but in this upcoming election I will not be voting ABLP at all. Simple for 1 and only reason. All Saints Road has been destroying my vehicle for over 10 years.

I don’t know what the Honourable Maria Browne is doing daily, but that main road should be condemned the entire stretch from town to English Habor. Every day everyone vehicles go through bare torture and abuse from that road to the point where even pickup truck are even creeping to traverse that abusive wicked main road. 

This must be a plot to destroy people vehicles while the PM and his wife drives their white brand new Ford Ranger Raptor which can take the road better while the rest of us tax paying public catches hell driving on that abusive main road.

People like Eli Fuller only highlights Friars Hill Road or the road at the back of Jennings which the top 1% uses in our society but he himself would not highlight All Saints Road because most of the less fortunate uses that road and he himself has a Ford pickup which he uses to take his children to school daily so he doesn’t care or see fit to highlight that said main road because the Elites doesn’t use it.

The crappy patching PWD has been doing all over but deliberately refusing to patch All Saints Road or even smooth it out can’t work Hon Maria Browne and PM Gaston Browne.  TALL Saints Road needs to resurface ASAP and we the tax paying public deserves it, most of us who livs in the east has to use that road to get to and from work daily and school pickups. 

The bus men and taxi men are a burning shame in this country, even if you are a ABLP support right is right wrong is wrong, the abuse of our vehicle is beyond ridiculous and abusive. The PM and Hon Maria Browne and has not given the public duty free on parts and Abst off parts.  

Everyone in this country cannot afford a pickup truck. Like myself for example and others they these wicked new car dealership Harney and Hadeed are charging 150k-200k for new pickup trucks which is out of pocket for most people in this country.

All Saints Main Road has to be the worst main artery road on island along with many other village roads especially Herbert’s main road, factory Road among many other too numerous to mention. The government don’t even say they are going to take duty and ABSt off pick up trucks because its an agenda they have 

Where are our tax dollars going? Is it enrichment or squandering?

  1. I hope the PM reads this letter because we really need some better efforts with these paddock roads we drive on daily

  2. You is such ah big asshole who ever u r…d road needs fixing n daz all the article about…yall so dunce n ignorant….this isn’t political its what needs to be done….

  3. The fucking road want to fix, Fix de fucking road and stop condoning them politicians with they bullshit!!

  4. I fully agree with this article. Absolute rubbish is what All Saints road is. Vehicles are dodging potholes at every turn and that is higher risk for accidents. Meanwhile roads in Villa and Point are better taken care of. What r we supposed to do? Move to Villa to get proper roads? Now they taking about roads in Barbuda. How many vilages have to depend on All Saints road to get to town?
    C’mon man!
    NONSENSE IS NONSENSE!

  5. Everything that is used on a regular touches our budget in whatever way, transportation is apart of our daily use for everyone and the bare fact you have to dip in your pocket every month or even in a shorter time, hampers your ability to feel satisfied for owning a vehicle without such reoccurring issues. SO YES THE ROADS NEEDS TO BE FIXED ALONG WITH THE DRAINAGE, ITS TIME FOR US TO GET AWAY FROM THE POLITICAL SIDE OF THINGS PUT AWAY OUR PRIDE AND LOOK AT THE GREATER GOOD, POLITICALLY MINDED FOCUS HAS CAUSED MORE HARM THAN GOOD. ONE LOVE EVERYONE

  6. I agree with the article. Its very scaring driving on All saints rd. Qhwn deiving u have to be swerving out of potholes n bumps ..i work in the hotel industry, and i heard alot of guest saying that they cant drive on these roads bcause its the worse they ever seen with hole n bumps , and with no side walks. Its really crazy n yet still we paying taxes to maintain this country.

  7. Truth to fact. All that is needed is to skim shave the road bed, and put a new coat of aggrigate asphalt or what is called “Barba-green” and making way for drainage and off-ramp-shoulders. I mean, this is a major roadway leading from one of Antigua’s most desirable destination of St. Paul’s to the Capital, which have been neglected for far too long; by the myopic governance of convenient ineptitude.

  8. Yes the road needs to be fixed. Why don’t you stop being a hypocritic and let ppl express their frustration

  9. It seems like the road could remain in that condition if we were all able to purchase pickup trucks. The trucks suffer the same abuse and worst yet, the parts are generally more expensive so every vehicle owner is at a disadvantage here and moreso, those that are owned by the state.

  10. Maria Browne drives on that road often, they don’t care about yall. Fig Tree Drive, Bethesda, road to half moon, Matthew’s road, st anns road, green acres road, body pond road, the roads close to KFC Buckley line, Montrula…. why doesn’t she drive around take pictures get these road fixed

  11. Dat dance dat is chatting shit he is r fool like how he look. We deserve better mrs Browne u an mr Browne knows dat. Dat dance dat is chatting shit he is r fool like how he look. We deserve better mrs Browne u an mr Browne knows dat.

    Dat fucking dance dat is chatting shit don’t know better . We deserve better dem know dat.

  12. Maria Browne is lost in outer Space.She cannot find her way back to Earth.However,she surely enjoys wearing Rolex Watches there in Space.I am looking at that picture with the TAP DAWG.I had to laugh looking at that face.Is he laughing?

  13. This ls for the first comment
    U and u alone need to get in an accident on allsaints rd!
    I hope u die!

  14. Whoever wrote this sounds like “dem hab ‘trang” for for Ford vehicles. Lol. All saints road certainly isn’t a “poor ppl road” that the 1% dont have drive on. But unfortunately, it is a major highway that authorities tend to of neglected (like most other roads) even the new “smooth” roads are not being maintained properly and will eventually get like all saints road over time.

    Maintenance is the biggest problem with all public infrastructure locally.

  15. Everything takes time🙏ROME wasn’t built in ONE DAY🙄over 10yrs the road is still horrible😇then it would mean UPP DID NOT FIX IT TOO😂ABLP is now reaching10yrs from 2014 re-election🙏🙏

    Some of us complain but don’t know how to preserve things. Some of the DRIVERS🙄my goodness the speed, could you imagine smoother roads around Antigua🙄then EMS ambulance service would be overworked with accidents😇

    We need good roads and people to protect and perserve for examples the bus stop sheds🙄people do all sorts of damage to them.

    Sometimes it is what you can do for your country and not what your country does for you.

  16. Oh my!
    Pixie you looking good!😆
    But you husband, is truly funny looking🤣
    Girl!!
    I like your watch🤣
    You look real rich!
    But it look to me like the tap,dawg
    Cannot move his face🤔 hmm
    Rocking the cradle will surely catch up with you🤣🤣
    Seriously, though.. fix the road!

  17. That road is a disaster. The Labourites defend anything that shines the spotlight on the government. This is what our tax money is for. With the millions they have borrowed to fix roads, what’s the delay with one of our busiest roadways?
    Pixie is as dumb and useless as her DAWG. Talk about ghost worker. It is my belief that she was probably ordered to put her name up for politics.
    It is the gross mismanagement of the tax dollars at its best.

  18. Well highlighted @ Former ABLP member.

    It’s nice to know many more of you are “outing” the government’s wilful behaviour – well done 👍🏾

    I travel on All Saints Road virtually on a daily basis, and I’m sick and tired of driving like a chicane driver, having to manoeuvre and zig-zag sometimes in the middle to avoid the potholes and damage to my vehicle; and at other times having to go dangerously into the opposite side of the road to avoid the deep crevices.

    I don’t get upset anymore though, because it is the political divide that has caused this awfil conundrum, with the ABLP being INTENTIONALLY wilful to the voters in All Saints because they do not vote for them.

    It’s not only roads where there’s deliberate negligence of UPP voters, but also in housing placements; water barrel and AC unit distributions.

    There’s even strong rumours going around in recent times that ABLP are designating the distribution of hurricane shutters, will be allocated to government and Gaston Browne supporters.

    Nasty set ah people dem if true 🤬

  19. While drinking in Antigua.The car went into a hole in the street.I had to pullover and did an inspection of the front end.Luckily the tires were still on the rims.It was very scary.The roads need to be properly maintained.For all drivers ALP,ABLP,UPP,DNA are affected by those bad roads.We are all digging into our pockets to maintain our vehicles.From the damages done by those bad arse roads.

  20. As prime minister I don’t drive on Barbuda roads, I just have Calvin ayere helicopter drop me on site, it’s the tax payers paying you know, so one a these days I will drive to experience these pot holes.

  21. Calling on those in charge to fix the road is a reasonable request. People should be able to contact their leaders and make goodfaith complaints, and request.

    I have been blogging since about 2009 on various Antigua and Barbuda online news platform and I learn that the people of these Islands are so political that no matter who is in power, if you request reasonable accommodations, you will be cursed out from that party and it’s supporters.

    They find your request, our request, to be an attack on their chances to stay in power. Or they will say why can you talk about the other party too.

    I will only talk about the party in charge, who had the power to make the change I am pushing for. I did this when UPP was in power, swearing none of the nonsense could happen under my ABLP and now ABLP is in power, as if God is showing me something, ABLP is doing the exact same things and frankly, in a worse way.

    I never thought family member would be arrested without probable cause under ABLP, it happened. I remember begging UPP for grant for law school, they refused me. I swore ABLP would have never done that to me, ABLP then did worse, for less things I asked, like allowing me to get my tools required to start my business to employ Antiguans and Barbudans and tap into $6 billion funds and brininging in those foreign investment. I was so excited and motivated.

    Frankly, I can genuinely say both parties do not care. And I am not saying to change your party but demand they do better and make better and honest people get to the helm of these political parties. Stay with your party but demand better. That is all I ask.

    Also, learn to accept the truth, they are mostly no good and about themself, but they will do a bit of good for you to vote but not all they should have done for you.

    Nothing at all is wrong with requesting leaders do more and better. And nothing we acquired in Antigua and Barbuda is close to the maximum we could have all achieved with the best leaders, if we have had the best for the nation.

  22. The ablp give the idiots them the duty free to import the used cars because they know they will recover that tax on the suspension parts and tires the the same vehicles and the useful idiots done realize that !

  23. While the prime minister BRAGS AND BOAST and certainly enrichment for his family !!
    ANTIGUA LOOKS LIKE A DUMP !!

  24. A simple patch work is needed to the top of Luackland Benjamin drive and no one in this jokey government has seen it fitting. I dont vote period. None better than None!!!

  25. Lmao if this a wa go mek you stop vote for ABLP I guess the $1000 done and reality kicked in. The roads bad long time, yes they’ve gotten worse I guess you didn’t saw that before you voted. If PWD is doing a shitty job is not in the last 6yrs is long before that.

If PWD is doing a shitty job is not in the last 6yrs is long before that. If you didn’t know your social security done gone

  27. The recent reports regarding, the apparent #STALEMATE between C. O. Williams and the Government after Conttraual Agreement(s) were signed by, all of relevant parties AND; the fact that, C. O. Williams has submitted RFI’s to Change Orders, for ADDENDUMS to the original contract(s) due to unforeseen circumstances (such are usually included in ones bid package, up to twenty-five(25) percent at times), and while all this is causing additional delays prior to the COC – Close Out of Contract, MUST and should automatically trigger an AUDIT by the relevant government agencies.

    PM Browne, when your political protege smile, as the case with MP M. Browne, you must 😀smile like your on #Candid_Camera too. The frown/grimace is like a #Crass_Dawg protecting its property. #CHILLAX, the hounds will arrive with the return of Asot Michael, the one and same termed “da_Vagabond.” I wonder, who Ricardo Dru actually wrote that hit about.
