 Best model of local government for Carriacou and Petit Martinique.

The Ministry of Carriacou & Petite Martinique Affairs has begun holding a series of district meetings that marks the start of the establishment of local government on the islands.

The consultation is aimed at getting the public’s input on the best model of local government for Carriacou and Petit Martinique.


University West Indies (UWI) Professor Mr. Simeon McIntosh has prepared a document for study, however the local government models from other Caribbean islands such as Tobago, Dominica, and Antigua & Barbuda will be considered as well.


Speaking at a district meeting in Six Roads on Tuesday September 30th, Minister of Carriacou & Petit Martinique Affairs, Senator the Hon. George Prime said the establishment of local government will bring about better service to the people of the twin-isle constituency. He reiterated that local government is not something new to the islands, as it existed before in the 1960’s through a district board.


He further pointed out that while his government’s watchwords are transparency, accountability and good governance, this cannot be achieved without people’s participation.


So far, six (6) district meetings were held across the island. Some of the concerns raised included the financing of the process, the timeframe for its implementation and whether it will bring additional burdens or new taxes on the people. The district meetings continue today Wednesday, October 1st at the L’Esterre R. C School, and tomorrow Thursday, October 2nd at the Harvey Vale Government School.


On Friday 3rd October, the team will visit Petite Martinique where residents will give their input into the process.

Newsflash

First part of this website upgraded was the historical information about the Grenadines.
Now introducing some generic information for tourists and visitors of Carriacou. Meanwhile you could have a look at the Pictures of Carriacou - a large collection, including Shakespeare Mass, White Island and Hillsborough.

Please note that this website is no longer promoting the Paradise Inn hotel or the same hotel under its new name.
New management has made this the most unwelcoming lodging facility on the island.
Unsafe conditions at night, broken beds and non working fans are just an example of the lodging.
Worse even is the unwelcoming attitude of the staff.
For food you can find a lot better and faster elsewhere, unless you want to wait an hour for some fried eggs.
Update : This hotel no longer operates under the name Paradise Inn Carriacou
Many visitors had written about their experiences on reliable websites like the Yahoo travel siite and TripAdvisor.
Hardly any of these reports had a positive comment.
Some people reported atrocious holiday experiences in this hotel.
One couple returned to their room to find the maid sleeping in their bed.......
Another family left the hotel after their daughter was harrassed here...
A whole family got sick after eating chicken wings in the so called restaurant.
Chicken wings being the only item available....
No hot water ANYWHERE in this hotel, not in the kitchen neither... a kitchen where under the sink you will find a large bin with kitchen waste.
This bin stays there all day in the heat untill it gets fed to the pigs. Obvious that the frothing slug in this bin is one of the best ways to spread infections.

If you are not sure whether you have already booked in this place under the new name :
It is located at the south end of Paradise Beach on Carriacou, and the so called restaurant is painted in blue.
