Councillors at Thursday's general meeting of the St Catherine Municipal Corporation renewed calls for the construction of a new municipal building, arguing that the current facility is no longer suitable for effective governance and poses serious health risks.

Leading the charge was Minority Leader Councillor Theresa Turner-Flynn, who expressed concern about the deteriorating condition of the historic structure and its impact on councillors' health.

"Mr Chairman, can you say when we will be able to sit in a comfortable environment to represent the people who elected us in an effective way?" she enquired.
