The Fourth District needs new leadership and the thinking of a “new generation,” and Collin Scatliffe is the man to bring it, he told residents at his launch Saturday evening at the Band Stand.
Mr. Scatliffe said his vision for Road Town includes making the town attractive, modernising infrastructure, and improving safety.
“If people do not feel safe walking its streets, if its businesspeople no longer feel confident that their investment in their business can be effectively protected, Road Town will die,” Mr. Scatliffe said.
He said he supports increased training initiatives for police officers and wants to add more lighting, closed circuit cameras and foot patrols in town.
Mr. Scatliffe also said that the police’s community policing programme needs more support and he pledged that if elected, he would represent the Fourth District to police as well as in the House of Assembly to help people “have confidence in the force.”
