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.
