 The Hughenden Division comprises the communities of Arlene Gardens, Glendale, Hughenden, Maverley, Pembroke Hall, Renfield and Three Oaks Gardens. The socio-economic profile of the community is wide and varied however the fundamental issues affecting all are the same.
‘Building Communities through strong Citizens Associations’ was the slogan used for my campaign in March 2012 and it continues to be my driving force in 2016. It is evident that communities with vibrant citizens associations are better able to cope with and ultimately correct issues which may have negative implications for community development, such as indiscipline and crime. Additionally, these communities get stronger support from within the community for fund raising activities geared at improving community spaces or simply to improve relationships amongst neighbors.
My team and I continue to provide un-wavering support for these Citizens Associations which are the foundations for good governance in our communities; I implore you to join your Citizens Association today.
The deterioration of the road network in the division continues to be a major source of concern as this contributes not only to an increase in motor vehicle maintenance costs but more significantly a depreciation in property values. Representation for infrastructural upgrades will continue to be my primary focus as this has been cited by numerous residents as their main area of concern.
Programs for Youth Empowerment and Engagement will be increased as we continue to grapple with a culture of hopelessness amongst our young people. Spreading the word about these activities and programs will be absolutely necessary. This will be achieved through support with our Citizens Associations and state agencies providing these programs.
The Kingston and St Andrew Corporation (KSAC) under the stewardship of Her Worship the Mayor Dr. Angela Brown Burke has ultimate responsibility for maintaining good social order in our communities and public spaces.
I am your representative at the KSAC and as such am responsible for all communities in the Hughenden Division. As you are aware, Local Government Elections will be held on November 28, 2016.and I forward to your support. It is my vision to have all communities relating to each other on a social level through their citizens associations thus making the Hughenden Division a place to Live, Work, Raise Families and Do Business.
