Gilroy Usher Defends Street Works in Port Loyola

When it comes to road infrastructure in Port Loyola, “Boots” Martinez claims that Usher has poorly maintained the streets. However, the P.U.P. standard bearer strongly disagrees, stating that he has been actively working on paving the streets in the constituency. Here’s what he had to say.

 

Gilroy Usher, P.U.P. Candidate, Port Loyola

“When it comes to Fabers Road they want to talk about Fabers Road. They built Fabers Road for eight million dollars, when all the competent road experts said that road should have cost the Belizean taxpayers no more than four million dollars. What have I done in terms of proper roads? We paved Penn Road, the full length of Penn Road from Baldwin Drive to the boulevard, one of the longest roads. We paved Nurse Finley Crescent. We have paved Ceasar Ridge from the Custom to Reggae Street. In terms of paving, we paved the main Curl Thompson Street and upgraded all the inlets. We recently paved Freedom Street and all the inlets. So, the record is there that Mr. Usher has been working. We went about securing these lands for the people, that is why thirty residents of Port Loyola became first landowners in this area here. In further addressing the needs of the constituency, because I know if you give people house lots they need infrastructure to reach their lots. This road here way to Arlington Drive and the other one is almost complete. Gilroy Usher built those roads there so that the people can reach their land.”
