Texas billionaire and US Presidential candidate in 1992 and 1996 H. Ross Perot has sought planning permission to carry out underpinning work to repair damage caused by Hurricane Fabian at his Tucker?s Town home. Mr. H. R. Perot Snr. applied for permission to carry out proposed shore protection and underpinning work at No. 38 Tucker?s Town Road, St. George?s.

Cambridge Beaches Resort has been given the go-ahead to refurbish its outdoor pools, dining terraces and beach access.

Michael Winfield, the resort?s president, described the plan a major investment by the company, but the pool project would only proceed after an estimate is received by contractors.
