  1. Let’s read how the ABLP sycophants, acolytes and Gastonites explain this one (as we are now an economic powerhouse), I can’t wait!

    Heheheeee 🤣

    In 3, 2, 1 …Kaboom 🔥

    Don’t let me down now!

    Assess the situation before writing. That hole just developed a couple days ago. It will be fixed shortly. Let ‘s stop tearing down the Island. Nation building is important

    Brixtonian , I read on Facebook that Joel Rayne is seeking the nomination for St. George ( ABLP ). If Joel Rayne wins the primary your friend Serpent will definitely lose next election for sure.

    • This pothole has been there for more than a few days. I would’ve broken my rim in this same pothole 3 weeks ago. So please have your facts before posting misleading information.

    • @GILES…aka From The Sideline and Star of Mrs. CONDESCENDING!

      Your #MO – Modus Operandi is as “white as snow in salmon.”

      A…condescending
      B…deflection
      C…G “Dawg” Browne 🚽🚾🧻

      As is evident from others who travels on this road, the pothole being there for much longer, than you are asserting.

    • Nothing tarl go so! Dat day day since LAST year! Take politics out of it and fix the damage road before somebody dies by drowning in the pool or the wall behind of it.

    • I know for a fact that it has been there since OCTOBER, 2023! It started as a result of a busted water pipe under the road. APUA came out and dug up the road. The pipe was three feet down. Once they were done replacing the section of pipe, they left the road in that condition! They said Public Works would come out to fix it! AS OF TODAY’S DATE, IT IS STILL THERE!!!!!

  3. Actually it’s two potholes on the way to five island, for months it was dug up to repair a broken pipe and it seems that the materials ran out for this part of the island , the funny thing is that only certain parts of this island gets attention , but not grays farm to five island , only when VIP’s visiting they are doing a quick fix to look good , especially when the University was opening. Next the citizens needs to create a page to highlight all the neglect for years by the two political parties , Grays farm looking like a desolate place , no work being done especially the pavement by the police station area , green bay school kids can’t walk on any proper paves because large rocks are placed on the walking area , much less the parking on the side of the road where kids are forced to walk on the driveway where vehicles operate. Seems grays farm to five island will have to endure more and more neglect for decades to come despite who rules Anu.

  4. I watch people and the norm of yesteryear are not todays. People come into a store and zip pass you to get a vita malt and push some money at the cashier infront of you and leave. No excuse me, nothing. It’s not the rif rats, Ivy League kids who have parents and grandparents who came up in the 70s and 80s do the same thing. Big grown people do it.

    It permeates through out society, no one wants to wait their turn. No one shows regard for who they came and met sweating standing or struggling. Even if it looks like who was there is having a grand ole time, a simple phrase “can I just pay for this” , can help. Sometimes even eye contact says the same thing. But as the cashier never puts them in their place, the people standing there are ignored. Once they can quickly get what they want, no conversation is had.

    Why? people just don’t care.

    I don’t blame it on the electronic devices and I don’t blame it on autism. I blame it on parents wanting to be friends with the children. I don’t want children to be abused but children need to know that they are not the pearl in the lone sea oyster.

    So my dear people of 5-Islands, take the road that leads to the sea cause no one gives a rats arse anymore

    This is not about politics. It is about truth. I drive on that road every single day. several times a day. I busted a tyre in that hole 18th December 2023. That is how long that hole was there. Of course it was smaller back then. It started at the side of the road and is now spreading across the road.

  6. PUBLIC WORKS PLEASE GO AND FIX THE POT HOLE! PLEASE! PLEASE!
    PIXIE!
    WHY WE PAYING YOU?
    IF NOT TO DO YOUR WORK.
    ECONOMIC POWER HOUSE EH?
    TRUPZ😫😕

  7. They are waiting patiently for some one to get hurt or worse which will then give them a reason to fix it….as usual lyvelyve

  8. Yawns….

    Pothole? This is Antigua!

    There’s no pothole to big, no gutter to deep, to speed bump too high for our cars to conquer!

    Smooth roads are just a concept. They dont exist!
    [Says the man that’s never left Antigua]

  9. Interestingly before 18th January 2023 people were competing with Public Works to fix road and drains…you see them all up on Labalali road ….posting for social media….who is not riding on roller. Election done …there were winners and losers…but the work stop!
    PUBLIC WORKS PLEASE GO FIX THE DAMN POTHOLES ….

  10. When I were a little boy living in that Constituency.VC Bird was the representative and did nothing to enhanced the landscape.There was a garbage dump in the heart of Greenbay,known to all as Pasture Pond.When they lit that dump to burn the trash.Those living around that area could not leave their homes every window had to be closed.We the young boys blocked the entrances to the dump with concrete fixtures.They came and removed them and we put them back again.The people voted VC Bird out of that Constituency.The next Election he ran to Cedar Grove.That Constituency have been neglected for decades.Look at the Community Center is now a Court House.It is depriving the the people of the areas of engagements.Back in my days that would not have happened.It should not be happening now.One of the ways to protest.Hold onto your property taxes until they get their behinds out of that Building in Grays Farm.

  11. What we need to realize is that the politicians need us to stay in power
    Watch every time election is in the air you see them practically begging you pretending to ask for your vote! Then after they win they neglect you and the community for the next three to four years!
    People you have the power, if your not pleased with their performance vote them out!!
    You have the power!!
    Nuff said!!
