CASTRIES, Saint Lucia — The Allen Chastanet administration in Saint Lucia has taken the initial steps via the Castries Constituency Bill passed in parliament last month to provide for municipalities, the Castries Constituency Council (the council) and to establish the Castries city police.
In the United Workers Party (UWP) economic plan leading up to the 2016 general elections, Chastanet revealed that: “A UWP government will establish five economic zones, which will be run by regional economic boards led by persons from within the area. Castries will be zoned as a special economic zone making it a municipality. The aim of this was so Castries could get its credit rating, independent of the rest of the country. Once this has improved, the UWP wants Castries to become the home of regional businesses.”

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
