Kaya Continues Campaign for Albert

Since offering herself as a candidate for the People’s United Party in Albert, Councilor Kaya Cattouse has been working in the constituency. On National Service Day, she was in the Conch Shell Bay neighbourhood where she met with residents in Lindo’s Alley.  Cattouse was there to see the final touches being done on an elevated walkway that would ease the headache of walking through floodwater during the rainy season.

“What you’re seeing here today is the culmination of a couple weeks of work.  When we started campaigning back in July, we came into the area and we saw that what was previously a court served as a water catchment in the area and it affected about seven households in the area of Lindo’s Alley.  When it rains or floods they would have to walk in water to get out of the area.  So we decided that as a project for service day we would get this started and build an elevated walkway to alleviate that problem.  So even when it rains and if it floods, they don’t have to walk in water to get out of their homes to the street.”

“Aside from this particular initiative, talk to us about perhaps other works that you are undertaking in this constituency.”

“So right now, we are in different or various parts of the Albert Constituency and we’re going house to house, literally, and it is very sad to see the deplorable conditions that people have been living in, in the Albert constituency for the past fifteen years.  I mean, we are trying our best to assist them with different housing projects, you know, assisting people with building steps to get upstairs of their homes, to deal with their yards.  They have a lot of different issues in the constituency that we’re trying to address, slowly but surely.”

“Talk to us a bit about, perhaps, some of your canvassing, outside of, you know, being able to meet some of the needs of these residents, what has the experience been like, in terms of walking Albert?”

“The feedback has been very good, I mean, people want a change.  They want a young, dynamic leader who is coming in to work for them.  Coming in from the local government level, they have seen the work that I have been doing, not only in Albert constituency, but across the city and now to be zoning in only on that one constituency, it means a lot to them and it means a lot to me.”
