‘Works halted at Diego Martin Sporting Complex pending review’
|
The Minister of Sport and Youth Affairs, the Honourable Phillip Watts has confirmed that ongoing works at the Diego Martin Sporting Complex have been halted as the project is currently under review.
Minister Watts said that the decision to pause funding stemmed from the need for expert assessment on the next phase of the facility.
In Port of Spain, the Basilon Street Youth Facility remains closed to the public, with security and contractor issues delaying its opening.
Responding to a question from MP for Port of Spain South, Keith Scotland, on when the facility would be available for use, Minister Watts said that theft and incomplete works by the contractor have forced the ministry to hold off on taking possession of the building.
Turning to other infrastructure projects, the minister highlighted continued upgrades under the ministry’s social infrastructure portfolio, particularly at the Sevilla tennis courts and Dubisson Park in Ste Madeleine.
