AN assessment of the Prime Minister’s residence in Tobago by Works and Infrastructure Minister Jearlean John and Udecott chairman Shankar Bidaisee on July 20 found that “key remedial work” needs to be done at the residence and its premises.

A media release from Udecott on July 21 said the assessment, which included deputy chairman Peter M Kanhai and Udecott facilities manager Rydell Mahabir, included the compound, main building and adjoining structures which house staff and protective service members.

The release said follow-up visits to complete a full-scale assessment, establish a project plan and conduct extensive repairs will be conducted.
