The PNM To­ba­go Coun­cil has launched a se­ries of is­land­wide com­mu­ni­ty meet­ings in a bid to re­build. The ses­sions be­gan last night in Buc­coo/Mt Pleas­ant and are ex­pect­ed to run through May 29 in Ma­son Hall/Mo­ri­ah. Par­ty of­fi­cials said the meet­ings are sched­uled to take place in every elec­toral dis­trict.

The par­ty said it’s aim­ing to lis­ten to the peo­ple, as­sess what went wrong, and chart a new path for­ward to­geth­er.
