Message of His Worship, Mr M.N. Allybocus, The Mayor of Vacoas-Phoenix

Dear Citizens

It is my privilege, and great pleasure to address you as Mayor of the town of Vacoas Phoenix.

Let me first and foremost thank you for having elected me and my team five years ago to serve as Councillors for our town.

Since our assuming office as Councillors we set ourselves to relentlessly accomplish a vast number of projects that was intended to uplift the standard of living of the inhabitants of the town.  The newly elected Councillors, being  inspired as from day one with our motto “Putting People First” and fuelled by a vision to modernize every corner of the town, set ourselves to work hard, leaving no stones unturned and in  accomplishing our tasks  to the satisfaction of the inhabitants.

It is not my intention to list all our achievements here since the time we took office, or my pretention to declare that all achievements were ours only.

  We also owe our success to different stakeholders for their support and collaboration namely:

1. The Chief Executive and Heads of Department have been playing a vital role in implementing Council’s decisions by deploying manpower, machines and money to meet Council’s objectives in a timely manner. 
   
   
2. Staffs and workforce of the Municipality for their valued and committed work. 
   
   
3.  Contractors and business contact groups whose expertise was often sought when pushed to shove. 
   
   
4. Last but not the least the help and support of elected  members of the National Assembly and  constituencies  no. 15 and 16 for their  intervention with specific authorities which has been decisive to getting things done to the satisfaction of one and all.

Now having reached the last year of our mandate, we will leave a legacy to our successors for which they would be proud of and perpetuate the same principles that we have applied throughout, with the main aim to bring the town to new levels of progress.  New horizons are already in sight, the new development to take place at Highlands, construction of the multi-storey commercial complex in the town centre and new multipurpose sports complexes throughout the town show our commitments to a bright future.

John F. Kennedy while addressing his countrymen as president of the United States once said, “Ask not what your country is doing for you, rather ask what you can do for your country…” May I humbly reiterate this noble thought by asking you to adopt the same attitude for the progress of our town.
