Dangriga Town Council Builds Picnic Area for Residents

The municipal elections are history and the projects that the winning city and town councils had campaigned on are expected to be rolled out over the next three years. In Dangriga, one such initiative is already coming to fruition and today, Mayor Robert Mariano shared with us that they’ve been able to construct a bandstand near the seaside that residents will be able to access free of cost, complete with barbeque facilities for family picnics. Mariano says that the location in the Wahima Beach area precedes other infrastructure projects in Dangriga.

 

Robert Mariano, Mayor, Dangriga

“We are building a bandstand and the bandstand is completed. The next phase is to be, to do painting and other decoration, putting electricity and so on. We’re expecting that project to complete by the end of this month. Also we have already started working on the different parks. And so I’m hopeful that by the end of this month, all the parks will be touched as well. Thank you. I went around and did physical checks on our parks and noticed that it is not well painted.  Some of the chairs are broken and so on. And so I have directed the personnel in charge of works to ensure that what need to be repaired. And what need to be repainted, let’s repaint them. But we will need to put some brightness in our tongue. And so we’ll be working because we need to make Danger Gang more child friendly. And that is the reason why the next phase. Now is to compete with different parks and then since we are in the dry, we’re also looking at doing some new streets around that regard as well.”
