GENEVOR GORDON-BAILEY, JLP
LIME HALL DIVISION, St Ann Municipal Corporation
Genevor Gordon Bailey has made her mark in the Lime Hall Division since she became Councillor in 2016. Closely aligned with education through service on several school Boards, she has also played a major role in supporting the sporting activities of young people throughout the division. This includes providing gear, supplying sporting equipment, and assisting with rehabilitating and maintaining playfields across the Division. She is proud of her work in helping identify and lobbying for the erection of retaining walls, building or rehabilitation of drains and improving road surfaces. Water supply improvements include wayside tank repairs and the provision of black tanks. However, she says she remains concerned about the problems many in the Division have with water. She is determined to fix the problem. A close confidante of the late NE St Ann MP, Shahine Robinson, Mrs Gordon Bailey has learnt how to be persistent in her push for benefits and improvements for the people of the communities she represents. She is proud that the Roaring River community has benefitted through a partnership with JSIF road/light and water development worth over J$100 million. With Mrs Gordon-Bailey’s representation and assistance from the Ministry of Local Government, the houses of over 300 residents were wired for free, giving them access to affordable electricity. She has helped to provide housing for indigents and fire victims. Mrs Gordon Bailey says: “I was born in Pimento Walk and moved to Steer Town as a teenager and never left. I truly believe I was called to represent the people. My life has truly changed. I worry about the shut-ins, a person whose house is leaking, a child who doesn’t have books for school and almost all the needs of the people.” She says the needs of the people come to her even at night “and I have to find a way to help and most of it is personal as councillors don’t get government resources for most of the things the people come to me about. I truly love people…. I pray The Creator gives me life long enough to make a greater impact and transform Lime Hall Division and its residents even more.”
She says the representation she has done for the people of Chalky Hill, Steer Town, Clamstead, Laylock and Lime Hall, as well as other communities in the Lime Hall Division, is the recommendation for her to get a second term to continue improving lives.

DESMOND GILMORE, PNP
LIME HALL DIVISION, St Ann Municipal Corporation
Desmond Gilmore is a known performer in Local Government having served the Lime Hall Division as Councillor for two terms from 2007 to 2016. During that time, he was Mayor of St Ann’s Bay and chairman of the St Ann Parish Council (now Municipal Corporation) from 2012-16. He is making himself available again to serve the people of the Lime Hall Division to which he is fully committed. Mr Gilmore says much of the progress made while he was Councillor and the things he had commenced remain dormant or discontinued. “I was born in the Lime Hall Division. I have a commitment to that Division,” Mr Gilmore said, explaining why he is making another bid to become Councillor. He said because of his known involvement in youth clubs, church and community organizations, the people came to him and asked him to be their representative in 2007. “I did, and they gave me two terms.” He says he wants to return because when the people of the Division look at their communities and compare what exists now against what he had achieved, they have said to him: “You have more to do.” “I am going to the people on a platform of performance and achievements,” Mr Gilmore said. He said he was not putting out a platform of promises. “I served two terms and I can show the people that given the opportunity again we will transform more lives and communities,” he said. He said he had demonstrated that commitment to the transformation of communities such as Steer Town and its environs, Mammee Bay, Chalky Hill and Lime Hall, and others. He lists among his achievements facilitating and handing over more than 300 titles to land owners in Mammee Bay South; getting JPS to provide electricity along the roadway in Mammee Bay South; and seeing to improved water supply in Lime Hall, where he left a new pump, properly supplying the community. He also had started consultation with NWC over water from the Roaring River for the higher elevations in the division. He said he used to bring all the Government agencies together once a year to an empowerment fair, in Lime Hall, to provide opportunities for young people, and connect them with potential employers. Mr Gilmore says: “My commitment is to serve empower and to transform. Those things guided me while I served and they will continue to.” ON ELECTION DAY, February 26, 2024 VOTE DESMOND GILMOUR, VOTE PNP |
