And while the PUP launched their National Manifesto yesterday, on Monday February 20th, the Corozal PUP Town Council slate launched their Manifesto for 2012 to 2015 entitled “PUP Delivers: New Life for Corozal”.

The manifesto entails various important factors that contribute to the positive development of Corozal Town. One of those major factors has to do with financing, which undoubtedly is needed to ultimately run the affairs of the town. Like many councils across the country, the finances and operations of Corozal Town Council have not been managed in an open, transparent and accountable manner. To solve that issue, the PUP Corozal Slate will among other things practice openness, inclusiveness and accountability by ensuring that the Council’s financial records are publicly available.

In that same arena, the PUP Corozal Slate will ensure the efficient and effective collection and use of taxes by implementing an effective collection system that will oversee the proper administration and efficient collection of both current and back taxes.

When it comes to the infrastructure of the town, specifically the deplorable state of the streets and drains, the PUP pledges to allocate a significant amount of money collected from the Transport Department for the construction, maintenance and upgrading of streets and drains.

And desiring to revitalize the recreational aspect of the town, the PUP Corozal Councilor Candidates will ensure that the youth be provided with sporting facilities.

The manifesto is comprised of 51 solutions to better Corozal Town.
