Bishop’s permission needed for work on Santa Rosa Primary – Regional Chairman

Renovations on the dilapidated building of the Santa Rosa Primary School in Region One have not commenced due to the need for the Roman Catholic Bishop to grant permission for the construction.

This newspaper yesterday spoke to the Regional Chairman, Brentnol Ashley, who informed that the renovations to the building mainly rest upon the Bishop’s permission and not of that of the $18 million contract. 

“It’s much more than the contractor constructing a building at the Santa Rosa Primary, we have a whole lot of issues surrounding it because the land on which the school is on belongs to the Roman Catholic Church and there is a procedure that we are right now following, seeking permission from the Bishop to do the necessary construction… even if we have to do a repair to the school or renovation and so forth we have to go through this process of seeking permission, so that also keeps back the process from going forward.”
