The Mayor of St George’s has offered her congratulations to the Progressive Labour Party following its landslide win in yesterday’s General Election.

In a statement, Quinell Francis and the Corporation of St George’s thanked outgoing One Bermuda Alliance MPs Kenneth Bascome and Nandi Outerbridge and said: “Special congratulatory wishes are also extended to Renee Ming and Kim Swan who will represent the constituencies of St George’s North and St George’s West.”

Michael Fahy, former municipalities minister, was also praised for his “commitment and support” over the past 4½ years, which had “assisted with the revitalisation of the Town of St George’s”.

Ms Francis said: “We are looking to move our marina legislation forward and we look forward to working with the new Government to ensure the marina comes to fruition.”
