THE EDITOR, Sir:
THIS RURAL town of Little London in Westmoreland has been ignored in any micro or macro planning, partly because of a lack of vision and partly because of the poverty of dismal lobbying and representation, to raise the bar from the parish council to parliamentary level the plethora of articulation by this writer as a then councillor for Little London to be placed on the Comprehensive Rural Township Development Programme under the umbrella of the Urban Development Corporation for a comprehensive drainage programme and the pollution of the Dutch Canal, to name only a few.
The dearth of these and other critical issues are not only negligently ignored, but have been treated in a cavalier manner.
This notion underscores funda-mentally why Councillor Earl Brooks (Little London division) grandstanded the announcement that the Little London Market will be converted to a skills training centre. This grandiose statement is two years old, which Councillor Brooks uttered at a community meeting on August 6, 2004, at the La Boom Club, Little London.
It is even instructive that the Hurricane Ivan damage to this plant has not been remedied whatsoever. This aged announce-ment soon will be senile, a typical government public relations masquerade.
Councillor Brooks, I take issue with you and you remain stone silent. In the name of account-ability and transparency I call on you for a credible statement on the utterance of August 6, 2004, La Boom Club, Little London. The issue is not dead; it is raising eyebrows.
I am, etc.,
FRANK L. MANBORDE
Councillor/Caretaker
Little London division
Westmoreland
