Sister Islands well represented

Many persons, including from the Sister Islands of Virgin Gorda, Anegada and Jost van Dyke, turned up to hear what the budget had in store for them.

As expected, the budget placed much emphasis on education, specifically the building and maintenance of schools, issues that have become urgent.

Meanwhile, such was the size of the crowd at Save the Seed Energy Centre that a tent had to be set up downstairs for persons unable to be accommodated in the HoA area.
