St. Peter Member of Parliament Asot Michael is once again highlighting what he describes as the total neglect of the constituency by successive administrations over the years.
According to the MP, since he was elected as Parliamentary Representative for the constituency in 2004, successive governments of the United Progressive Party (UPP) and Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) have failed to provide adequate resources to meet the educational, health-care and economic development needs of constituents.
“This constituency has received no roads, no infrastructure, no street lights, while the other constituencies have benefitted from these necessities,” Michael said.
“I had to spend millions and millions of dollars out of my pocket to repurpose the sporting facilities in the constituency.”
The neglect of the area was highlighted by a constituent, who lives in Lightfoot, in a letter to Michael on Wednesday, appealing for roads to be fixed.
“I am a member of the St. Peter’s constituency, I have been for the past 7-plus years,” Noel Whyte wrote in his letter.
“I have had my land for close to 10 years and I built here for the past seven years. I am reaching out to you as our MP to do something about the roads in the area and also the overgrown lands around the neighborhood.
“My house is surrounded by four parcels of land that are vacant and are overgrown with trees and bushes, which is an eyesore and pose a security and safety risk,” Whyte added.
According to Michael, the last time St. Peter got any new infrastructure was in 2002 when he was Minister of Public Works.
The St. Peter MP said it is a crying shame that the successive administrations have neglected the constituency and he is appealing to the Minister of Public Works to fix the roads without further delay.

Why is Asot suddenly trying to pop up in the news all over again???
Something is going down. The full details will soon enter the public domain.
LOL hahahahahahahahahha
This is hilarious LOL
hahahahahah
The time you ASOT take to be helping Reds , giving Lovell all the news to undermine the PM and in all kind confusion with the court you should be taking notice that ùp here is getting away but you have time on your hand to be doing so much foolishness which is really upsetting
Cry me a River!!! Your wealth didn’t just come from the sale of the Land up east… There are other inputs derived from your proximity to power and the backs of the very poor people you claim to love… So maybe that’s what the subsequent administrations are trying to say… Use the creativity used to gather your wealth to assist the community…
Cuz he just had a vision he needs to do something…
Asot just doesn’t know when to quit. He is openly confessing to his own dismal failure to effectively represent his constituents, and like the spoiled brat that he is, he is blaming everybody else for his pitiful demise. School children say that monies given to him for constituency development are spent in buying personal items for his dwindling supporters in exchange for their hero worship. So of course the constituency which includes a wide cross section of electors who are not necessarily impressed or charmed by him and his Ole-time political shenanigans is today bearing witness to Asot’s contemptuous neglect. A very poor excuse for a Parliamentary Representative especially one parading under the banner of the progressive, positive, indefatigable ABLP. Mr. PM, a chain is as strong as its weakest link. Asot Michael is the weak link should be replaced ASAP.
Those pictures above are looking very much like Lightfoot East.West of the former BBC Relay Station.
