Newly elected Arima Central councillor Sheldon Garcia promises to do more on-the-ground work during his tenure.
Garcia was sworn in on Thursday morning after he walked away victorious with the Arima Central seat in the January 25 local government by-elections.
Garcia told Newsday the first item on his agenda is to maintain community fields that were neglected.
He said, “They have been neglected for years. Keeping the fields maintained is a great way to keep the youths active. That is one of the major issues I know I must deal with. It’s an issue that the people have raised and continue to raise.I made the commitment to the people that I will address this issue and I intend to do so.”
