#TurksandCaicos, September 24, 2023 – The six National Town Hall meetings set for Providenciales this month have been postponed until further notice.

Announced on August 30th, the meetings came as the Government was put on blast for not communicating effectively enough with residents.

A suite of similar meetings were held in the country last year and residents turned out to share their concerns, ideas and to hear what TCIG was planning to do for them.

The postponed meetings were supposed to be as follows:

Five Cays — 20th September;

Wheeland — 21st September; 

Cheshire Hall —22nd  September;

The Bight — 25th September;

Blue Hills —  26th September And ;

Leeward And Long Bay —27th September  

Providenciales residents, especially in Five Cays, have been clamoring for a meeting with the elected representatives to talk about several matters, first and foremost the criminal activity that disproportionately affects the densely populated island.

There was no indication whether other government agencies including the police, would be on hand to answer questions during the meetings.

The meetings for the rest of the country listed for October will run as normal.
