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

Notice to all visitors.

Turtle for the kitchen of Paradise Inn The content about the former Paradise Inn Carriacou has been unavailable for some time. This place now operates under a new name, since many visitors were extremely unhappy about it and wrote their experiences on sites like TripAdvisor and Yahoo travel guides.
My own experiences under the new management were extremely unpleasant and it even got dangerous staying in this hotel.
Bear in mind that there is no staff here at night and no measures for safety have been taken.
Property of guests disappears while the staff does not handle such problems. Some rooms dont even lock properly...

Dishonesty : The webhosting and maintenance, design and all other costs related have never been paid by the hotel owner Peter A.
The deal we had (free lodging in return for a good website) was not honoured by him, nor the promised pay of my flight to Carriacou.
Attempts to steal this website from me, later on threats and then even imprisonment for three days on false accusation was the result.
False quoting : Several hotel guests complained after they discovered that they had to pay 25 percent more then the price quoted. Complaints to be sent to the hotel owner in London, never received replies to those complaints....
The hotel is now using frequently changing email addresses from gmail or msn, probably to avoid receiving complaints...

But... I got several requests from visitors to make the Carriacou information easily accesible again.
I keep these pages online now.
As before, the Paradise Inn-related content will stay offline,
The former pleasant hotel Paradise Inn does not exist as such anymore.
It is now completely rundown and staff is unfriendly, even hostile towards visitors.
That is why I advise you not to visit this hell inn, but choose another hotel for your vacation on Carriacou.

Even though it now operates under a new name, you will know that it is the same one if you are on the south end of Paradise Beach on Carriacou and you see a blue building. If you are ignored by the staff when you enter you are shure that this is the same Hell Inn.
