The East End Police Station, previously closed due to ongoing sewerage works, is set to reopen its doors today, Friday, May 3.

The closure had been necessitated by sewerage works conducted by the Government of the Virgin Islands in the station’s parking lot.

Despite the station’s closure, law enforcement services in the East End district remained uninterrupted, with officers maintaining 24/7 patrols to ensure community safety. Residents were encouraged to contact officers directly at 368-9704 for immediate assistance or to report emergencies.

“We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding during this time,” stated a spokesperson for the Royal Virgin Islands Police Force.

With the reopening of the East End Police Station, residents can once again rely on the presence of local law enforcement for their safety and security needs.

Junior Minister for Agriculture and Fisheries, Honourable Dr. Karl Dawson, reaffirmed the Government of the Virgin Islands’ dedication to food security and sovereignty principles, emphasising efforts to enhance food sustainability.

Dr. Dawson highlighted several ongoing initiatives aimed at realising the objectives outlined in the Virgin Islands Food Security and Sustainability Act. These include the establishment of the Virgin Islands Agriculture and Fisheries Marketing Authority, the development of agricultural infrastructure at Paraquita Bay, and the formulation of a comprehensive plan for agriculture and fisheries.

“We are in the process of developing the comprehensive plan for agriculture and fisheries in the Territory,” stated Dr. Dawson. “This process has been informed by public meetings with farmers… as well as the work plans established by the Department of Agriculture.”

He further elaborated on the plan’s purpose, stating that it will integrate various elements into a singular document to guide the sectors effectively. Dr. Dawson also highlighted ongoing efforts to address water issues, particularly at Paraquita Bay Farms, through long-term and short-term solutions such as the reservoir project.

Looking towards the future, Dr. Dawson expressed optimism for agricultural production, citing initiatives aimed at addressing water issues, expanding farming land availability, fostering community among sector producers, and providing training support.

The Department of Agriculture and Fisheries, responsible for ensuring safe, nutritionally sound food production in an environmentally sustainable manner, plays a crucial role in contributing to economic growth, social well-being, and environmental protection within the Territory.
