Residents of All Saints West have publicly expressed appreciation for the work of their parliamentary representative, Anthony Smith Jr., citing infrastructure upgrades, accessibility, and steady engagement with constituents as key highlights over the past year.

In a year-end message issued on behalf of the constituency, residents said visible efforts had been made to improve daily life in communities that had long awaited development. They pointed in particular to the construction of durable concrete roads, describing the upgrades as a major improvement to connectivity and overall quality of life.

The statement said ongoing work to address long-standing challenges across the constituency reflected a practical and responsive approach to governance, adding that Smith had remained consistent in delivering on commitments made to residents.

Constituents also highlighted the regular operation of the All Saints West constituency office, noting that weekly availability for engagement had strengthened dialogue and allowed residents to raise concerns, share ideas, and participate more directly in the representative process.

At the national level, residents referenced the renewed prominence of the Antigua Black Pineapple, describing it as a source of pride and a symbol of the country’s agricultural heritage that is once again contributing to economic growth and national identity.

The message also extended New Year wishes to Smith’s wife and three daughters, acknowledging the role of family support in sustaining public service.

The residents said they were entering the new year with optimism and confidence, expressing continued support for Smith’s leadership and a shared commitment to progress in All Saints West and Antigua and Barbuda as a whole.

Here is the full message:


As the year draws to a close and we look ahead with renewed purpose, we, the people of All Saints West, take this opportunity to express our sincere appreciation to The Hon. Anthony Smith Jr. for his continued service and leadership.

Throughout the past year, there have been deliberate and visible efforts to advance the wellbeing of our constituency, and country as a whole.

Improvements to infrastructure, including the construction of durable concrete roads in communities where such development had long been absent, have enhanced daily life and connectivity for many residents. At the same time, ongoing work to address persistent challenges across the constituency reflects a commitment to progress that is both practical and responsive. You always keep your promises.

Equally important has been the emphasis on accessibility and dialogue. The consistent availability of the constituency office for weekly engagement has reinforced a culture of openness, allowing residents to share concerns, contribute ideas, and participate meaningfully in the process of representation.

On the national stage, the renewed prominence of the Antigua Black Pineapple stands as a point of collective pride — a symbol of our agricultural heritage, quality, and resilience, now once again positioned as a valued contributor to economic growth and national identity.

We also extend warm New Year wishes to Hon. Anthony Smith Jr.’s wife and three daughters, acknowledging the vital support of family in sustaining public service and leadership.

Hon. Smith, we thank you for your continued dedication to All Saints West and for your efforts on behalf of the people you serve. As we enter the New Year, we do so with optimism, confidence, and a shared commitment to continued progress.

May the year ahead bring clarity of purpose, steady advancement, and prosperity to All Saints West and to Antigua and Barbuda.

With appreciation,
The People of All Saints West 🇦🇬
