ROAD TOWN, Tortola, VI – First District Representative Honourable Andrew A. Fahie has again engaged with a Minister of the National Democratic Party Government, this time with Dr The Honourable Kedrick D. Pickering, to discuss issues affecting the district.

The discussions reportedly centred around, but were not limited to, repairs to the Towers Public Dock and jobs and training for youth of the district.

“As previously stated, the need to meet with the Ministers of Government among other Government Officials, elected and non-elected, as well as other organisations in an effort to have matters in the First District as well as the entire Virgin Islands adequately addressed continues to be one of my main missions,” he said in a statement sent to this news site.

“In so doing the Minister for Natural Resources and Labour hosted a meeting in his office with me [last week] to discuss matters of concern pertaining to the First District and the entire Virgin Islands that fall directly under the duties and responsibilities of him as Minister for Natural Resources and Labour and his Ministry,” he said.

Hon Fahie described the discussions as progressive and fruitful and noted that the broad headings of discussions were, but not limited to: needed repairs to Towers Public Dock; naming of the Towers Public Dock; marine studies for youth of the district; investing in the district’s youth in the marine sector through the purchasing of boats; cultural and fishing village and mini water park on Carrot Bay reclamation; job fair day for our Virgin Islanders especially our youth in each district.

“The discussions went as well as can be expected. I was afforded the opportunity to go in-depth into each heading, among other areas, thereby highlighting the intent and benefits of the different initiatives for the people of the First District and the people of the wider Virgin Islands. The contents of the letter written to the Minister also expounded on some of the aforementioned headings,” he said.

“My meetings with the Ministers and other Government and non-Government entities in order to ensure the best for the First District and the entire Virgin Islands will continue. I will also continue to keep the public informed of the meetings as well as the outcomes,” said the former Education and Culture Minister.

Meanwhile, Hon Fahie told Virgin Islands News Online that no timelines have been set for the accomplishing of the objectives discussed during the meeting and that checks would be done at intervals regarding the intended outcomes on commitments made.

    no no no. Fahie is a reasonable man, compromising. To have Frazer, Pickering and Ronnie in one room trying to work together, somebody coming out dead. Too much stubbornness kill.

    with all the issues needing attention, isn't a water park basically a waste of money? How about cleaning out the ruins which are more interesting to both residents and tourists? And I have always wanted to know if Towers dock is legal. Is this the barge ramp on reclaimed land or behind the store? Is it becoming more industrial with repair noise in residential area? Can a small village, stores be built to pay bills before that entertaining water park?.

    The same way H. L. did not leave the first district seat in the will for Preston, is the same way the seat was not left in the will for Fahie either. Your comment is downright out absurd. It just goes to show your level of mentality. It will be a good thing if you can try to improve your reasoning skills. (LOL)

      P**st**n you & your sister can stop blogging please. I voted for Fahie this last time. The time before I voted for you. Why? You talk a smooth talk with no action while Fahie does his best to deliver and actually help people to be better and he knows that the seat is not Will to him but you obviously don't get that as yet.

    way to go brown-bomber: you are part of the government and you have a responsibility to see about the future development of the west side and by so doing the development of our territory: the VIP and NDP affiliations went out after 8 June 2015: 13 persons were elected on June 8 to form a governmental administration for this terroty for the next 4 years.....
