Given the overwhelming complaints of Roseau residents that government projects remain uncompleted beyond their completion dates, city officials said they will expedite action on completing all pending projects. Roseau residents and businesses said construction activities in the city remain prolonged, and that this is affecting business activities in the city.
According to the people living in the city, construction projects such as road upgrades, building renovations, public space enhancements, and other progressive infrastructure in Roseau remain pending. The completion dates for many of them have passed and the government remains silent on completing the projects in due course.
Residents complain that the outstanding projects cause distruptions to daily life, while businesses said restricted access and construction detours have resulted in reduced foot traffic and customer patronage. Given that completion dates for the projects remain uncertain, city dwellers and businesses said the government is not transparent in its developmental agendas.
Some even go as far as expressing doubts about the ability of government to undertake such projects, and the efficiency of contractors to execute them. Many city dwellers worry that Roseau officials are not capable of planning and executing developmental projects with accurate precision and within stipulated timeframes.
As if that is not enough, a number of people deride the government for not carrying the people along on project updates. Many said the lack of communication between the authorities and the public is indicative of deception, inefficiency, and basic regard for the Roseau people. While the city enjoys significant tourist attraction and aesthetic appeal, the many outstanding construction projects are impacting the overall attractiveness of the city.
City authorities agreed that many road and building construction projects are outstanding and that they have exceeded their construction dates. They disclosed that they will expedite actions on them to complete them and restore confidence in the government. They promised that businesses will boom again and residents will enjoy great city life again. They asked for patience and understanding as the government works hard to make Roseau great for all again.
