The GOOD Party has lamented the state of social spaces in some municipalities across the country.

The party believes communities need a safe, conducive environment where public parks and facilities are well maintained.

The country heads to the polls on November 4th in local government elections.

The Good Party’s Secretary General, Brett Herron, says, “Children’s play equipment is rusting in stagnant sewer water. Sports grounds and football fields have been left to communities to take care of, and clubhouses are gutted by fire and being left unrepaired. Every sphere of government has given up on the harder work, and fallen back on the easily populist response, which is simply more boots on the ground.”
