SEA COWS BAY, Tortola, BVI- Political aspirant, former Speaker of the House of Assembly, and businessman, Mr Julian Willock, has issued a call for the construction of a museum in District 3.

The call follows his recent visit to the Sea Cows Bay Heritage Group Mini Museum Day Exhibition, which took place from May 18 to 22, 2026, at the Old Methodist Chapel.  

Willock advocates for betterment of District 3

Mr Willock, who continues to propose ways to help his community, posted on his Facebook page about his visit to the exhibition. He noted that he and two members of his District 3 Committee were moved by the variety of items on display that beautifully captured the history of the community. 

According to a press release, Mr Willock is the first political candidate this season to advocate for the construction of a museum in District 3. "If the good residents of District Three elect him to the House of Assembly, he will seek to have an extension added to the Valerie O. Thomas Community Centre dedicated to preserving the rich history of District 3 and its contributions to the territory," the release stated. 

Currently, there is no permanent, standalone public museum directly in Sea Cows Bay. However, the Sea Cows Bay Heritage Group occasionally hosts 'Museum Day' mini-exhibitions in the area showcasing 18th-century artefacts.

Development of a park 

The release added that Mr Willock also envisions the development of a park in District 3 where people of all ages can relax, unwind, and enjoy time with their children and families.

The press release further highlighted that, for the past four years, Mr Willock has been a vocal advocate for improved water services, better roads, and other infrastructure enhancements that improve the quality of life for all residents, as well as the reinstatement of the senior citizens program. However, the release stated that the government of Premier Natalio D. Wheatley (R7) is currently addressing water supply and road rehabilitation in District 3.

    Selfishism Is No Better Than Devilism.

    Why only district 3 and not in all 9 district of the British Virgin Islands, former Speaker of the House, Mr. Julian Willock. We all living in a world of dependency on God and human beings needing others for survival and other support. Politicians by large are very selfishminded actors believing that they deserved the male lion''s share of the catch or stolen prize.
    Museums are educational learning centers. All of the people of all 9 districts should benefit from higher leaning, but before then greediness political leaders must be force out of office coming next general elections in the British Virgin Islands.

    All fine and good. But I think the most important thing for Sea Cows Bay is getting/putting a good reliable water system in place. The person/persons that is running for a seat in Sea Cows Bay and can make that happenWILL GET MY VOTE HANDS DOWN. You still need a reliable source of running water to run a museum and playground.

      So correct, aren’t you going to put a bathroom and water fountain on the playground? That requires a source of constant running water right? The museum is going to require a bathroom with running water for guest that is going to visit as well. Be honest, am I right or am I wrong or making sense.

    Before opening more museums in the territory - at the last count there were at least eight! - may I suggest that attention is given to better management of what we already have.

    What about the mold issues I'm school and government buildings. All you all need to be out of office. You all are sick individuals running this island. Pure kids that don't know what to do in life. You politicians travel to see better things . Why not do better things here if you want to spend money. Invest the money in the people,not scamming the people. A park and a museum with fake history

    Willock the district needs a library before a museum! The district needs mentors - not part-time ones.

    SCB has a museum already. Having the most bars and low life expats in it. It trying to beat out the ghetto. How about cleaning the streets and giving the much needed water!!

      100% correct, Sea Cows Bay is a mini and upcoming ghetto. There is a big problem in Sea Cows Bay when it comes to water. People can hardly have running water to take a bath or they have to bail water from the well and bathe out of buckets. What about the females that cannot enjoy a proper shower or bath during that time of the month. What about the kids coming home from school and cannot have a decent bath or shower before going to bed.
