Rehabilitation of Marchand Ground Main Stand Halted After Contractor's Equipment Stolen

By Ministry of Youth Development and Sports

Rehabilitation work on the main stand at the Marchand Ground has been hampered as burglars went away with thousands of dollars worth of equipment belonging to the contractor on the project.
The major repairs to the steel works, a crucial initial stage of the overall project is now at a standstill as a result of the brazen larceny.
" They broke the 40 foot container that my tools were kept in and went away with all of them including welding machines, grinders, power tools, hand tools and generators. This will setback the project significantly," the contractor, who is a former national football captain said on Thursday.
Restoration of the metal structure that supports the grand stand at the facility started in July last year. The matter has been reported to the police and investigations are underway.
