Day: December 20, 2024

On Thursday evening, Richard Frederick’s talk show aired its final episode for 2024. During the program, the MP for Castries Central expressed his growing dissatisfaction with the escalating crime situation on the island and the challenges facing his constituency. The increase in gang activity in the city, particularly in areas like the CDC, has sparked concern for the safety of residents, and Frederick is calling for immediate action with the help of the police.

Truckers are facing major challenges at the Castries Port due to limited space, particularly when trying to drop off empty containers, including forty-foot ones. Some have been forced to temporarily leave containers at various locations until space becomes available on the port.

Charging your electric vehicle is now more convenient than ever, thanks to the launch of St. Lucia Electricity Services Limited’s (LUCELEC) new EV charging stations. Located in key areas across the island—Rodney Bay, Dennery, Vieux Fort, and Soufriere—these stations are ready to help electric vehicle owners charge up and hit the road.

As Saint Lucia prepares to celebrate World Basketball Day on December 21st, the sport continues to play a key role in youth development, offering opportunities for both academic and athletic growth. However, coaches like Ron Du Murville are calling for enhanced long-term development programs and increased private sector support to help the sport reach its full potential on the island.

On December 8th, St. Lucia was introduced to a groundbreaking book titled Natural Plant-Based Remedies: Your Gateway to Health, Healing & Well-Being. The launch, held at the Vide Boutielle Sports and Cultural Club, was hosted by authors Dr. Paula Lockhart, Ph.D., and Mr. Renauld Deshamps, Herbal Physician from Dominica. The book aims to empower individuals and provide a natural alternative for a healthier future.
