Sandra Irmine Royer Re-Elected As Mayor of Roseau City Council; Seven Others

Mayor Sandra Irmine Royer has been re-elected as the mayor of the Roseau City Council. She was re-elected with seven other candidates at the 14th inauguration ceremony of the council at the Goodwill Parish Hall.

The re-elected mayor highlighted her plans to include setting up new committees to oversee the city’s finances, education, culture, sports, entertainment, and environmental sanitation and beautification. She said these reinvigorated committees will improve economic revenues and work with private and government entities to ensure all-round development in the City of Roseau.

The parliamentary representative for Roseau North Constituency, Miriam Blanchard, congratulated Royer on her re-appointment. She commended the mayor for her progressive visions for Roseau City and said they could work together to improve the lives of citizens in the city.

I want to be sure that appropriate services [will be] provided to citizens and property owners and that we establish policies and programmes which have an actual positive impact on [people’s] quality of life. Madam Mayor, I am sure our goals are aligned, and it is to provide leadership that is sensitive to the needs of the people; leadership that is relevant and up to the times.
