Lower Ottos Community Receives PM and Candidate Williams

As preliminary neighbourhood rounds continue to become more common in the lead up to 2009 general elections, Prime Minister Baldwin Spencer on Saturday joined St. John's Rural South MP Winston Williams on a walk through in the lower Ottos community.
The PM made his way through the area, in a bid to connect with the residents. According to a release sent from the party "residents were exhilarated, and one could sense the personal connection they have with the man who has led the nation for the past five years."

"We are going house to house canvassing, endorsing the candidacy of Winston Williams for St Johns Rural South. We are trying to encourage the residents to support the candidacy of Winston and the United Progressive Party on Election Day. He has performed creditably and served the constituents well." The Prime Minister said.

Williams, candidate for the Ottos Constituency over the years has been able to connect with a great number of constituents over the years. His door to door visit on Saturday was intended to underscore this personal commitment that has been established with residents in Ottos and the wider rural south constituency.

Speaking to the media prior to the walkthrough Williams optimistically shed light on the work he has done in the community and the future plans he has for the constituency.

To date, according to the release, Williams has been instrumental in the construction of the Niah Roberts Youth and Sports Empowerment Center at lower Ottos, establishment of two libraries, implementation of the Rural South Empowerment Program, as well as a community beautification programme. Williams has also created the rural south employment database, which has assisted numerous constituents in obtaining meaningful jobs. The MP has also implemented the Rural South empowerment programme which offers clothing and textiles and craft classes.

More plans are in the pipeline for the St Johns Rural South community including the establishment of the Rural South Sports Club, and the completion of the Nut Grove Community center.

The concerns of residents in the community were also noted by the MP and Prime Minister during the visit.
