CONSTITUENTS of Tunapuna have called for a boosting of local tourist attractions and the implementation of measures to improve the quality of life of local residents, at a pre-budget consultation held at Hillview College by the UNC in Tunapuna on July 16.

Hearing the suggestions was local MP Roger Alexander who is Homeland Security minister. Peter Nero, former UNC candidate for Maracas/Santa Margarita, called for the popular Caura River bathing spot to be upgraded with wash-rooms, huts and nature trails.

He also said the Maracas Waterfall could be used as a source of employment, saying, "We can create a lot of things."
