One of the top priorities for the newly elected Minister for Carriacou and Petite Martinique Affairs and Local Government, Hon. Tevin Andrews, is uniting the people of Carriacou & Petite Martinique.Â
Hon. Andrews, who was officially welcomed to the Ministry on Monday, 4 July, remarked that in order for the Ministry to effectively and efficiently provide the services it was established to offer, there must be unity and a high level of productivity among staff.
Another area of focus is the construction of the ministerial complex which should accommodate all public officers in Carriacou working at one central location. He said with the groundwork for the complex already laid, it will be one of the major infrastructure projects in the coming months.
Since assuming office following the 23 June General Elections, Minister Andrews has been attending a number of functions; the latest being Bishop’s College award ceremony where he presented awards to Owina Samuel for her outstanding performance in the subject area of Mathematics, and Calisha Fleary – English A in the 2021 Caribbean Certificate of Secondary Level Competence (CCSLC) Exams.
Meanwhile, Hon. Andrews also visited a number of small businesses within the town of Hillsborough. This he expects to make a permanent fixture on his schedule.
Ministry of Carriacou & Petite Martinique Affairs
Dear Sir
After owning a house on Carriacou for nearly 30 years, we have often struggled with haphazard flights from Grenada. We were delighted when your promise to restore their flights between Grenada, Carriacou and Petit Martinique was delivered in Jan this year. However I must let you know that the way they do business is disgraceful. I booked online for flights on Feb 4 and 11. Those flights are no longer scheduled ( they did not inform me). They now say they will refund and charge me for cancelling!
I have many friends on the island whose fares have not been returned. This blatant dishonesty and unreliability is highly damaging to tourism on the island and would appreciate you addressing this.
With very best wishes
Countess Sally de la Bedoyere CBE
