MP Hinds sides with Rowley on Laventille crime explosion

Responding to comments made by Dr Keith Rowley concerning the crime situation in Laventille,  Member of Parliament for Laventille East/ Mor-vant, Fitzgerald Hinds, yesterday embraced Rowley’s remarks, ad-ding that they were in sync with the comments that he himself usually makes on a daily basis to the people of Laventille and other people of TT. Hinds said he was quite excited by what Rowley said. Rowley, Minister of Planning and Development, was addressing a sod turning gathering for the Beverly Hills Housing project on Friday, when he waded into the residents about their condoning, and even encouraging an attitude towards crime. Hinds said the potency of the truths Rowley spoke was very stimulating indeed. Hinds said  he also noted the responses of the  people  who are affected and afflicted by the crime situation  in Laventille.   Hinds added that  what is left now for the people of Laventille is not for them to hear but to heed the advice of Rowley and take immediate changes in attitude — “ then can we move forward, converting Laventille to a happy existence renamed, “Loveuntil.” Hinds said that in his opinion the Government can, must,  and is doing its part, but at the end of the day,  it’s  really the people who will make the difference. He ended: “I am hopeful and optimistic that we as a community  can resolve these issues and return to normalcy again.”
