—Sports, recreational facilities in the works

IN their bid to make a practical contribution to the impoverished suburban community of Albouystown, Councillors Malcolm Ferreira and Heston Bostwick have teamed up to establish two facilities for sports and recreation.

But the duo cannot see the completion of the projects for at least three years, unless the public steps up and generously provides what is needed.

“I intend to beg for everything needed for these facilities,” Ferreira told the Chronicle on Tuesday.

The Councillor, who was elected through Constituency Ten, spoke to the Chronicle in an invited comment following his presentation of a draft proposal that he took to the City Council on Monday at the fortnightly statutory meeting.

Ferreira walked councillors through the layout of the proposed projects by means of a projection screen.

He and Bostwick intend to construct a play park opposite the clinic at James and Bel Air Streets, Albouystown, and a sports facility on Independence Boulevard.
