The Cabinet met with two officials from the Antigua and Barbuda Taxi Association; they operate from the Heritage Quay Port.
The officials complained bitterly about unauthorized taxi cabs and private car owners that are poaching cruise passengers and are at times using unauthorized vehicles to carry tourists.
The Cabinet has promised to strengthen the law to deter the behavior that might ultimately lead to liability.
The taxi drivers identified a number of streets whose surfaces are in need of repairs.
The Minister of Works has indicated that each street identified is on the worksheet to be completed before the end of the year.
Antigua has more than 400 miles of road. Floods and excessive rainfall have caused many of the street surfaces to deteriorate rapidly.
They were poorly-built during the previous administration. A new method using roll-out concrete is being relied upon to repair street surfaces.

lol…..’they were poorly built during the previous administration’.
I agree, the previous administration JUST LEFT A FEW DAYS AGO, AND NOT 10 YEARS AGO.
YOU GUYS ARE SO DUMB AND THINK THAT EVERYONE ELSE IS AS DUMB, STUPID AND INCOMPETENT AND DUNCE AS YOU ARE.
We cannot wait to see THE BACK OF YOU DUMZ AZZZESSSSSS.
One big dutty chupzzz….after 10 whole years the opposition still to be blamed for the deplorable roads? Give me an aspirin Maria. How about blaming yourselves along with the incompetent director of Works and the former PS. Not to mention the loud mouth lazy foolish greedy glutton of a Minister who preceded you. Now get y’all backside off your high horses and do some work for the sake of the people! Geeseee🙄
Annuh ABLP the previous administration?
Look how much a grant for road we get and still have to drive in potholes with bits of roads in them. Lowe me deh.
All them grant and loan with no improvement.
What do they mean poorly built by the previous administration?
Remember the present administration built friars hill and airport road and less than a month after completion certain areas needed to be patched.
You mean UPP built all the major roads in 4 years? Isn’t that some kind of accomplishment? but really…are we stupid?
When I see the pictures of all those massive cruise ships in a big big line across the waters of St. Johns my first thought is where oh where will there be enough taxi drivers in all of little Antigua to take good care of those thousands of paying passengers. I figure all the taxi drivers must be raking in so much money they can’t spend it all. But apparently, for some, it is still not enough.
Hi. I want to tell you guys off so much but social media might block me.
Talking about roads. Hush. Do you know how much money was given out to spend on road in the UPP government and that money cannot account for ?
You know how many fly by night contractors was there ? Look leave my government alone and appreciate what they are doing. Get of the First Lady back .
You all just missed the free money. We don’t hand out, you have to work to earn your dollars .
Look the country is running good. The Prime Minister and his government is doing their best.
Look, you all think a Antigua alone have bad road , potholes or have road problems ? Think again.
The great USA, Canada and England have the same problem. It’s a world cry.
Government cannot please everyone. Be positive, try to find a solution to some of the issues and see how best everyone can work to build a better Antigua. Stop trying to tear down progress.
You don’t see how much UPP associates and friends in high places jumping the ship before it sink. You better get on the ABLP ship that dentin to success.
Actually I’ve been to several Caribbean islands and trust me, Antigua has the worst roads
You travel all around the island to knw that. Have worst than antigua
This CANNOT BE ANYONE BUT GASTON OR MAX PRETENDING TO BE AN ORDINARY CITIZEN.
I AM TIRED OF YOUR PATRONISING TRICKERY. WHEN WILL YOU STOP IT?
ARE YOU REALLY CONVINCED WE ARE THAT DUMB AND STUPID?
MAYBE THE MINIONS IN YOUR PARTY ARE, BUT CERTAINLY NOT US.

You guys also blaming upp.
How long is that going to continue..
You guys make me sick!
As per ms.messiah!
🤣
It’s obvious there were no roads built in Antigua prior to 2004. The blame is square .
Hmmmm, funny so how you’ll say they never do anything interesting.
This ABLP government has had more than enough time to put things right (ten years and counting); and then to try and blame the opposition for were we are today is just plain ludicrous.
IF GASTON BROWNE AND THE ABLP IS THE ANSWER, WHAT THE HELL WAS THE DAMN QUESTION???
First D R A I N A G E, YES DRAINAGE ! THEN make the road nice like up at the race track all yuh Rasssssss !
