Dear Editor,

Dear Editor,

Firstly the Minister of Education and his Department must be either mentally de arranged or criminally de arranged for letting yet another School get demolished for “Development”.

First was the one last year at Pango where over 250 kids had to suddenly find a new School, so the question begging an answer is what's happened to that Development?? Absolutely nothing, the classrooms could have stayed until such time as the Developer was ready, but alas no, close the school, demolish parts of it and leave it in a mess. I know as I drive past it at least 4 times a day.

Luganville taxi drivers and taxi owners have come out to raise concern that they do not agree with the idea of using taxi metres on Santo.

This was confirmed by the newly elected Luganville & Sanma Land Transport Association President Sandy Kelvin.

Kelvin said one of the main reasons for this rejection was because the cost of one metre and its installment alone will cost over Vt30,000.

Besides, with the poor road conditions, they are not sure how long the metre is going to last them especially when it is expensive.
