IN THE FACE of waning support for the FLOW Oistins Fish Festival, Prime Minister Freundel Stuart has called for greater involvement in the 40-year-old event.

The Prime Minister made the plea yesterday during his feature address at the opening ceremony of the 40th Oistins Fish Festival, following remarks by MP for the area John Boyce in which he spoke to the noted challenges the festival faced in terms of sponsorship.

Improvements are in line for the area, Stuart revealed. While praising the popular venue, he said there were many much-needed plans to better assist the physical development of the area.

He explained that coming out of a recently held town hall meeting on the Physical Development Plan were plans to create a waterfront pedestrian route from Enterprise beach to Welches beach and create a transport terminal on the land side of Highway 7. (AD)
