Fraser bemoans neglected Third District
Third District Representative Julian Fraser recently raised serious concerns in the House of Assembly, accusing the government of neglecting his constituency.
Fraser criticised the lack of development and attention his district has received, particularly regarding essential infrastructure and maintenance projects. He pointed out several areas needing improvement, including road repairs, water systems, and community facilities.
Fraser emphasised that the Third District has been overlooked for too long. He highlighted how the district has faced continued neglect, with projects either being delayed or not initiated at all. “The government’s responsibility is to develop the territory and maintain it,” Fraser said.
He expressed disappointment that despite the many needs of his district, there seemed to be no major projects or improvements being prioritised by the current administration. “The harbour is trash. Ellis Thomas Downs doesn’t exist anymore. The roads. The water situation. Is there another district in the territory that looked like the Third District?” he asked.
Fraser also mentioned other specific examples of neglect, such as the lack of proper maintenance of community facilities, including the basketball court and softball field. He described these once-vibrant areas as being overgrown with bush and abandoned, further illustrating the decay in the Third District.
The veteran lawmaker criticised the lack of investment in the district’s infrastructure. He called out the government for failing to allocate sufficient resources to fix the district’s water supply issues and repair its deteriorating roads. “There’s an effort being made to fix a portion of the road in my district, but it’s just a small section,” he said, explaining that much more work is needed to improve the entire area.
Fraser called on the government to take immediate action. He also urged his fellow legislators to prioritise the district’s needs, stressing that the current neglect is unacceptable.

Try driving through East End. Also, that photo of overgrown bushes in Sea Cows Bay is not bad at all. Drive up the Parham Town Road from by Smokey bar going back to Lambert/the prison, the bushes from BOTH sides of the road practically touching in the middle of the road.
Yes there are many worse areas. Some dirt roads never maintained.
Brother – that is exactly how you played when you were in the halls of power. That is how all elected Governments work here.
A MOTHER AND HER SON IN DOTY ESTATE ( 3 DISTRICT) THEY ARE STROKE PATIENT ( THE CALLWOOD) — EMERGENCY VIHECLES CANNOT HAVE ACCESS OVERGOWN BUSHES GRASS — THIS IS THE ROAD ON TRHE LEFT ON THE FOOT OF SAGE MOUNTAIN.
D3 REP IS NO SHOW
Well Hon. Fraser, Sage mountain is clearly no longer a part of your constituent as with all the bush clearing that has been done through out the territory and threadsfall, we have not seen not one weedwacker or cutlass up our sides. the roads are overgrown which is a shame as sage mountain is one of Tortola’s “destination stops” for tourist. we only see you once every 4 years when you come by to secure your votes.
thank you to Mr. James one of the resident’s up at sage mountain who took up the initiative, time and his own money to ensure that the roads are passable.
seems to be a recurring theme in this man’s political life. To bad his constituency has endured 20+ years of his failures.
That was funny , that dude love to fool himself by writing and blogging to his own writing , which is designed to decieve us , and as you said he is the only one that will be voting for himself, fake numbers by using fake fancy names won’t work here . we know he thinks he hot more brains than everybody else , we’ll now will be the time to show the world , how GREAT YOU ARE / O thou wigged one
