Rawdon Turner, the Antigua and Barbuda Labour Party (ABLP) candidate for the St. Peter by-election on January 14, has announced the start of two housing developments aimed at increasing homeownership in the constituency.
During a television interview, Mr. Turner detailed plans for the projects, which include 16 homes in Pares Village and 37 homes in the Vernons area. He described the initiative as part of the government’s strategy to expand housing opportunities and empower residents.
“There’s no better feeling than being empowered with owning your own home. I think that’s one of the most significant achievements of anyone in this country,” he said.
According to Mr. Turner, preparatory work for the developments began before the by-election was announced.
“We started the cleaning of the land. We’re looking at putting the infrastructure in. The engineers are in assessment. We’re assessing the roadworks and what we’re going to do with the roadworks,” he said.
He added that his efforts to improve the area are not tied to the election.
“My commitment is not just…speaking about things that I want to do for the constituents of St. Peter. I’ve remained on the ground and I’ve continued to do the work.”
The housing developments are part of a broader push by the government to enhance the housing stock and provide opportunities for young people to own land and homes.

It seems like Rawdon ‘Jim Jones’ Turner has officially changed his name to Saint Peter, as he assures the legal voters of St. Peter’s not those transferred by Gaston to help him win, that he will sneak them through those pearly gates and give them everlasting life for eternity.
I, Rawdon ‘Jim Jones’ Turner promise to sneak every last one of you in St. Peter’s, into which ever heaven you belong to.
Am interested in getting one who should I speak with?
Jim Jones is reserved for Trevor Walker and BPM!!
Are the housing projects from his personal funds?
Well shut your clappers cause this government cannot complete the car park. It cannot supply basic necessities to government offices.
You guys will continue making those grandiose unrealistic promises until someone holds all you accountable in the vilest of ways.
No mek promises, just do um. Where is the Government finding the money to do these projects? Do they still intend to borrow Antigua and Barbuda out of DEBT? Gaston Browne, what has become of that economic formula.
All Saints East & St. Luke vote Lamin we need ABLP!!
@straight shooter – You are sounding dunce. Wah rain nah full, dew can’t full. It seems some of you have selective memory. Is who put the can’t park there? And whether or not he’s using his own money, he’s positively making a difference, which is more than UPP. Get a grip!
@JCFJW if the true will, of the People not the SHEEPLE like you permeates this by-election in St. Peter’s, vote for true and real democracy not DEMONacracy, thus allowing Rawdon Turner and the ABLP to loose this by-election many of you Labourites could end up with heart attacks to been put on suicide watches.
These political gangsters have recruited, trained, molded and command you all very well. Lest You Forget the Cosa Notre to the Cartels to the Unions to political parties all gangs of various forms control from Presidents to Kings to Dictators.
Now go ahead @JCFJW take a bow, lift up your red skirt like Gwen, show your bare ass like a rass or drop your red tights and whine your ass like you’re dynamite.
I really hope that this effort is not just a one time because of the elections but really and truly genuine
@Island Gurl by that time St. John’s will be smelling like lavender and roses. The boi Turner is gold plating your thoughts.
This guy should be a pastor.
Just vote for me (put your money in the collection) and the Lord will rain his blessings upon you
Looks to me like just another pig trying to get his snout in the trough
