Castries Mayor Peterson Francis has welcomed an initiative by the Ministry of Infrastructure, Ports, Energy and Labour to help improve road safety.

From Oct. 1, 345 metres of galvanized guardrails were erected along the Banannes Bay area and along the Castries waterfront. Mayor Francis lauded the efforts of the Ministry of Infrastructure to improve road safety in Castries.

“It’s fantastic to see how committed the Ministry of Infrastructure is to ensuring public safety to help make the city’s roads safer,” he said. “I am contented that it was now done, and I am pleased that I played a part in helping to deliver‎ on road safety.”

The project was completed within a week following several meetings involving officials from the Ministry of Infrastructure and the Saint Lucia Air and Seaports Authority.
