Dexter Rowland East Portland Division 1

Comrade M.P. Isat Buchanan spent the day connecting with his constituents, making stops in Boundbrook Division One.

Residents of Division One and surrounding areas, I hope this message finds you safe. Hurricane Melissa is now exiting our island, but we are still experiencing some residual rainfall and winds. Let us continue to exercise caution and remain safe throughout this weather.

The road to Stonyhill is currently impassable at the entrance to Ranza. Residents and motorists requiring access to the top of Stonyhill Road are advised to use the Norwich Heights route from the Norwich School entrance. Your councillor is making necessary arrangements to clear this route as soon as possible.

Councilor Dexter Rowland and his team continue to work diligently to ensure that the drains are clean to prevent flooding in the community. As your councilor, your safety is my utmost priority. Keep safe and dry.

We remain committed to your safety and well-being, and we're confident that together, we'll navigate this time with resilience and hope.

Councilor Rowland, Comrades Tashana, and Tasha from the Port Antonio division participated in community outreach today by visiting seniors and providing care packages. The team reminds residents of the division and surrounding areas to prioritize safety during this weather event, emphasizing evacuation for those in flood-prone areas to the nearest shelter or to stay with family or friends. Your safety is our utmost priority. The word is love.

Tropical Storm Melissa is now projected to become a hurricane by Thursday. This is according to the 5 am advisory from the Met Service.

As we approach this election cycle, I urge all residents of Portland Eastern to prioritize wisdom and civility. In our democratic society, two parties compete for support, and it's perfectly fine to maintain friendships despite differing political views. Let's agree to disagree respectfully and remember that our unity as Jamaicans transcends party affiliations. Once the election concludes, we must come together, putting aside our differences and upholding the values of humility, respect, and love.

📞Calling all comrades!
March out in your colours🧡💃

Join us for a joint divisional conference with the Prospect and Port Antonio divisions on May 18th at 5pm at Port Antonio High School. Hear from our esteemed guests and engage with fellow community members. Let's work together towards a brighter future for our divisions.

To all the extraordinary mothers in our community and on our team, happy Mother's Day! A mother is a beacon of hope and unwavering love for the household; she is the first person to rise every morning and the last person to rest at night. She embodies motherhood even in sickness, in weariness, and in moments of uncertainty. She is the glue that holds the family together and ensures harmony in the home. A mother's selfless devotion is endless and her unconditional love is immeasurable; it is essential to honor mothers not only on Mother's Day but every day, for they are truly remarkable individuals. From the Desk of your Councilor Dexter Rowland.
