Minister of Works Maria Browne is urging the public to stop stealing traffic cones and road signs, warning that the problem is disrupting road rehabilitation efforts.
Speaking on state media, Browne said equipment often disappears within hours of being placed.
“Our cones seem to grow feet and walk away,” she said. “These are government assets and vital for public safety. Please do not interfere with them.”
To tackle the issue, the Ministry plans to introduce brightly coloured cones and signs in purple and pink, making them easier to identify if stolen.
Road works are ongoing across several communities and major highways.

Guess people have the same attitude like ministers with access to state resources.
Charge them, that’s simple larceny.
How yuh expect road repairs to finish if equipment keep disappearing?
Murda, cones too. Crack heads are everywhere.
And we needs these cones to be placed where work has started because there is no indication that there is a dig out of 10 by 12 proceeding its only when you are on it that you shout out ‘ Oh
Shit’ and you feel the drop of the vehicle in the did out rectangular unfished mall so let’s get them locked up when they are caught
Those are the same ones who cry for better Roads and will disrupt the process of progress. The delusional optimism is high on ‘CRACK.’ 😔 😟 🙁
Funny how Antiguans behave! Don’t fix the road and they curse, but the moment you start work they thief the equipments and all a that
This is shameful. Do they think cones are souvenirs? Leave the equipment alone and let them do their jobs.
Like they need to leave a security with the equipment at the end of the day
It’s like the same dumb-dumbs who break the glasses in the bus stops. Hope they don’t need to use them one day and rain coming.
Even cones are being stolen? Well, well, well, the people are just as thief as politicians
Stealing Safety Cones in an economy where there is 100% employment, of this ECONOMIC POWERHOUSE? Gaston, Maria needs some help on this one because traffic safety cones are been stolen and recycled to make rubber sandals and SHIT MASHERS!
Seems like Maria’s SHIT MASHERS got some stale dog shit caught in its sole and she can’t figure out where this foul stench is coming from. Maybe Maria can waste some more funds by putting tracking chips in these cones.
Somebody just mentioned, that they’re serving rum & raisin ice cream in those cones at Jolly Beach.
