WATCH: Bouton Residents Undertake Self-Help Road Repairs

Last weekend, residents of Bouton, north of Soufriere, completed a self-help project to repair the main road leading into the remote community.

Road conditions were so bad that motor vehicle drivers avoided making the mile-and-a-half journey into the area.

Two frequent visitors to Bouton supplied material for the road repairs – 14 yards of ready-mix and a bale of cement.

Community resident Gifta Jongue explained that people in the area had suffered long enough.

The residents engaged in another self-help project to repair the road leading to the Bouton playing field the next day.

And they are planning an April 30 fundraiser to generate cash for a community resident at St. Jude Hospital who is in need.

Organisers have invited everyone to the event, featuring cricket matches, other sporting events, and entertainment.

  1. Imagine we’re the most heavily taxed country in the OECS and we still have to find the means to fix the roads ourselves. Shame on these governments.

  2. “Cracked some heads Jones” said that he will have to import women to have babies in barbados because the birth rate in barbados was at an all time low, then another ex minister said just before they were kicked out of office that in the year 2019, that there would be so much work in barbados that they will have to bring people from the islands to fill the job market, was that an election scam? Now all you`re hearing from some bajans that they don`t want no persons from the neighboring islands coming into barbados because they are thieves, murderers, sex workers, pick pockets and everything that is bad and the others would take their jobs, whose jobs did the bajans took when they got in other countries, some illegally to make a better living for them and their families. What an ungrateful pack of bajans.

  3. A moderator on Brasstacks said a couple years ago that he interviewed former PM Thompson. And that Thompson told him that he didnt really mind the Guyanese that were here BUT the Bajan public were complaining (which was true) so he had to do something.

  4. It is interesting, I have heard many “real” intelligent Barbadians echoing similar observations as Mr. Hinkson. Unfortunately,there are way too many dunces out there in this society. Here it is, this fool commenter is talking about taking jobs; does this fool knows of the silliness bajans are up to, don’t want to work for a reasonably pay, but want to be paid base on the size of the property in cases of engaging so called Artisans? I saw the changes that occurred when David Thompson chased the Guyanese out, Yet these bajans seem to have a perpetual disdain for these Caricom immigrants as they do their returning national siblings/relatives.

  5. These worthless gunmen in Barbados, need to go through the country and shoot monkeys, with their high powered weapons. They could then take the monkey tails to the Ministry of Agriculture,and get the 15 or so dollars per tail.
    That would do the country a great service, and allow citizens to plant and reap in peace. No doubt some arsehole would start complaining about animal rights, and greedy lawyers would be seeking to represent the monkeys in our kangaroo broken judicial system.
