New Housing Project For ‘Mongo Tong’ Area

8
Housing Minister Maris Browne

CABINET NOTES: The Cabinet has agreed that the next major housing project to be undertaken will be at the top of North Street (known as ‘Mongo Tong’) and parts of Bishopgate Street.

 A plan is also afoot to move the Public Works Department from St. John’s and Bishopgate Streets and other government departments to a new government complex, to be constructed at Hospital Hill later this year, and then to build new National Housing homes on the site to be surrendered by the Public Works at St. John’s Street.

  1. When you go start pay pensioners them.money? You no think we need money to start business too. Everything you do It has personal benefits. What’s in this fu you gassy?

    • Pensiones need to get all the monies promised to us. We can’t take promises to the supermarket .

      A couple years ago civil servants were given an extra months pay in lieu of salary’ increase. Pensiones were promised that they would receive theirs after it has been calculated. Mr Prime Minister why is this taking over 2 years and counting. WHere is the increase for Pensiones. We are waiting Mr Prime Minister. It is not as you think. Our memories are still good. We will not forget these promises. We will not.

  2. Yes! Yes yes! Private housing abs commercial spaces are needed, to keep up with the expanding Nation; however, are such things as…

    A…proper sewer system which St. John’s needed like 30years ago be better designed, and placed in, at a New City?

    B…proper fiber optics and other communications systems designed, build and maintained in, at a New City?

    C…proper roads with accompanying sidewalks, green spaces/parks, botanical arboretums and of course PARKING.

    THIS NEW CITY, can be located around the Sir Viv Cricket Stadium to the Airport to the New Cenetery to Clark’s Hill to Jonas Road to Parham Corner/Clock Tower Mall back to the Cricket Stadium.

    Things such as TRAMCAR SERVICES can be added to ease the amount of traffic on the roads to, through and out of this NEW CITY.

    Rebuilding St. John’s on a non-existing public sewer system, poor parking, poor infrastructure is similar, to POURING NEW WINE INTO OLD, WORN WINE SKINS. Both the new wine and old skins will be lost.

  3. How soon before construction starts? Don’t forget I have to finish my own house and need materiel.

  4. Is Mongo-Tong going to be the next Booby Alley? TAKE THEIR PROPERTIES BY EMINENT DOMAIN AND FLUSH THEM OUT.THEN GIVE THEM PEPPERCORN PRICES FOR SAID PROPERTIES.BEFORE ANY MOVEMENTS IN THAT AREA.MEET WITH THE PEOPLE AND GET THEIR INPUT AND FEEDBACKS.

    @RAS SMOOD: DO NOT FORGET WE ARE GETTING A NEW CITY AT WILLOUGHBY BAY.IT IS GOING TO START THE 12TH OF NEVER.

    • @TUNA…🌊 I hear you about the proposals for the New Town at Willoughby Bay…

      A few historical facts about the Willoughby Bay Area…

      1…It was one of Santa Maria de La Antigua’s first towns named – Bridgetown.

      2.There are structures buried along parts of the area, due to destruction by a Tidal🌊Wave/Tsunami. There are several members, of the Freetown, St. Phillips, Newfield area who are still alive (my memmee_lippee 96 year old mother is one them), who’ll tell you about this incident.

      3…according to fishermen, it was an area where porpoises would migrate to for breeding.

      4…during the ‘cackle/clam’ season, it’s one of or used to be, one of the best area to dig for cackle/clams.

      Antigua do need a well thought out, designed, purpose built for the future City.

      As a matter of fact, the Sir Viv Cricket Stadium can be upgraded on the exterior/perimeter to house an INDOOR/SHOPPING and Arts Entertainment Center.

      The Old Sugar Factory can become a proper National Museum/Artifacts Center.

      TUNA, at least we still have to be optimistic, that we as a People can still and must create a Great Nation for generations to come.

      I’m an #OPTIMIST…

  5. Pay Antiguans their money the government owes them. You found all the money they say missing from housing yet? Or you know where the money went. What did Lennox say about Housing. Is it a conduit for Thief and poorly built housing?
