The National Lotteries Authority (NLA) is continuing its investment in sports infrastructure across St. Vincent and the Grenadines, with rehabilitation works currently underway at the Cane End Playing Field. The fully NLA-funded project is being undertaken by Lauron Baptiste Construction Company and is expected to be completed within ten to twelves weeks.
Contractor Lauron Baptiste says the project involves the removal of debris from the playing field, installation of improved drainage, grading and levelling of the grounds, planting of grass, and rehabilitation work on sections of the pavilion.
Meanwhile, Project Manager of the National Lotteries Authority Bert Francois says the Authority had previously invested more than EC$200,000 in the Cane End Playing Field, including rehabilitation work and the repair and construction of the pavilion several years ago.
Francois says he was shocked to see the condition of the facility when the NLA returned to assess the playing field and emphasizes the need for greater accountability in the use of NLA resources
Francois says the NLA is continuing to fund development projects in sports and culture throughout the country.Other projects include the Petite Bordel Hard Court, where work has already commenced, the Langley Park Government School Hard Court, the Chili Playing Field and the Clive Tannis Playing Field in Bequia.
