Secretary of Infrastructure, Quarries and Environment Kwesi Des Vignes -
The Tobago House of Assembly (THA) has promised to expedite construction works on the damaged Parlatuvier jetty on a phased basis, although neither a timeline for completion nor cost was given.
Last Monday, fishermen in the area said that they noticed that a part of the jetty had sunk ten feet. It was also separated from the landing by approximately five feet. They believe that the situation was caused by Sunday s rough seas.
In a press release on Friday, the Division of Infrastructure, Quarries and the Environment (DIQE) said it is aware of the problems surrounding the jetty, giving the assurance to residents and the wider public that plans have been in train to obtain the financing to treat with the issues affecting the fishermen and users of the jetty.

Residents of Parlatuvier are being given assurances that the Parlatuvier Jetty will receive the necessary attention it desperately needs as soon as critical funds become available to make that happen.
Confirmation has come from the Division of Infrastructure, Quarries and the Environment (DIQE) in the Tobago House of Assembly (THA).
“DIQE is aware of the problems surrounding and assures residents and the wider public that plans have been in train to obtain the financing to treat with the issues affecting the fishermen of Parlatuvier and users of the jetty,” a release from the Division says.
