St. Philip’s Highway to Be Renamed in Honour of Sir Robin Yearwood
The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda has approved the renaming of a major roadway in St. Philip’s in honour of Sir Robin Yearwood, as part of activities marking the 50th anniversary of his public service.
Director General of Communications in the Prime Minister’s Office Maurice Merchant said Cabinet agreed that the roadway stretching from the Mount Joy Roundabout to the Long Bay Roundabout will be renamed the Sir Robin Yearwood Highway.
“Cabinet agreed to the renaming of the roadway in St. Philip’s from the Mount Joy Roundabout to the Long Bay Roundabout, and it will now be called the Sir Robin Yearwood Highway,” Merchant said during the weekly Cabinet briefing.
The decision forms part of a broader programme to recognize Sir Robin’s long-standing contribution to national development and public service, particularly in the St. Philip’s area.
“The decision forms part of Sir Robin’s distinguished service to Antigua and Barbuda, particularly his long-standing contribution to national development, public service, and the advancement of infrastructure and community life within St. Philip’s and beyond,” Merchant said.
Cabinet had previously established a committee to oversee activities marking the milestone anniversary, which includes Prime Minister Gaston Browne and senior members of the Cabinet.
Merchant said the renaming initiative signals the start of formal recognition activities tied to Sir Robin’s legacy and decades of service to the country.
Further details on commemorative events are expected to be announced as planning continues.

Up to this day Rupert Swallow Filo another comrade who did more for Antigua regionally and Internationally don’t even have a cassi tree in willikies named in his homor.
Just about all things in Antigua and Barbuda are named for Labor Party people.Are they the only ones.Who have made contributions politically to the Nation? Change the name of Antigua to BIRD/BROWNE ISLAND.For it was willed to them by THE COLONIALS.OTHER THAN ENRICHING HIMSELF THROUGH POLITICS.WHAT THE HECK DID ROBIN DO FOR THE CONSTITUENCY?
Well swallow get a lick in he grave from Gaston and robin and the labor party, they proclaimed that the said highway would be called sir Rupert philo highway to quiet his family who are loyal ALP supporters and now they stab them in the back, but it’s their fault because them love labor party than themselves, but willikies people feel betrayed, and randy is just a little obedient yes man who just want to feel power, he don’t care what happens to the village or constituent, he is not in there to fight no battle for the people but to carry on robin legacy.

Congratulations to Sir Robin. This honor is well deserved
To be with wealthy and with no knowledge of your wealth
Congratulations Robin. It’s the most the government can do.
Robin Yearwood is financially richer than all of the voters in his entire Constituency.my question is. How could he accumulate so much wealth on the salary of a Politician in Antigua. In 2010,he paid his ex-wife settlement in a divorce of 4,121,000 British Pounds.Then in 2012,he paid another sum of 592,000 British pounds.Then in 2012,he paid another sum of 1,882,851 British Pounds to the same person.
When you add all of those figures total=6,595,851 British Pounds.When I left Antigua. The British Pound rate was $4.80 to the EC.So the EC amount is $31,660,085. How did he got so wealthy then? Could you imagine his wealth today in 2026.
