SMALL CONTRACTORS are expected to play an integral role in providing employment for skilled and unskilled workers in Barbados as the Government embarks on a major road rehabilitation programme.
So said Minister of Transport and Works Michael Lashley as he embarked on a road tour of St Philip and St Lucy yesterday.
The tour came on the heels of another conducted in St Michael and was the second phase of the $10 million programme announced last week.
Lashley said the work going on in Sealy Hall, St Philip and in Peterses, St Lucy, was a signal that Government was expanding opportunities to other road builders other than the major players.
