Community Profile
Sister’s Road is a small, remote rural village situated in the Savana Grande Ward. It extends from Sancho Road in the West to Busy Corner in the East and lies eight miles East of Princes Town. The community got its name from two sisters, who visited the village and fell in love with it. Sister’s Road is primarily a farming area and has been a producer of cocoa, coffee, citrus, gumma, corn, rice, sesame seeds, lumber and ground provision since the late 1800’s. Poultry rearing has also gained some prominence in recent years.
The community of Sister’s Road occupies a five-kilometre radius and the ethnic composition of the population is as follows: 40 percent East Indian, 35 percent Africans, 15 percent Mixed and 100 percent of Spanish descent.
The community is also a deeply religious one with a Mandir, Mosque, Roman Catholic Church and Pentecostal Church. Practising Anglicans hold their services at the Sister’s Road Anglican School and Seventh Day Adventist services are held at the Valentine’s Residence.
Sister’s Road is fitted with very limited infrastructure to address the concerns of the residents, as the only public buildings that exist are a Community Centre, a Postal Agency, a Pre-School and the Sister’s Road Anglican School. Although there is a recreational ground, it is underutilised.
There is a 98 percent supply of electricity to households and streets, as well as a consistent supply of pipe-borne water about five days per week. Ninety-five percent of the community have access to TSTT landlines and forty-five percent have Internet access. The residents also have Cable and DirecTV.
Transport facilities include private cars, a few taxis and a public bus. Due to the condition of the roads, it is difficult for the elderly to travel and drivers are threatening to increase their fares, since car maintenance costs are very high. Road repair is needed, particularly for the access roads of: Nuckcheddy, Sancho and Bagwantie, as well as the upgrade of bridges.
The economic activities of Sister’s Road are based mainly on Agriculture (farming, gardening). Twenty percent of the work force is employed with the Government (45 percent in Agriculture) and 35 percent are unemployed.

Community History:
The community of Gulf View was originally known as ‘Palmiste Estate’ 1975 – Sugar Cane Plantation. In 1970, Mr. Ben Battoo and Mr. Jack Ramoutarsingh began construction of the community now known as ‘Gulf View’ which comprised of 215 acres of land.
Gulf View has a population of approximately 11,000 persons of different religious persuasions including Roman Catholics, Hindus, Anglicans, Baptists and Muslims. About 50 percent of the residents are business people, with about 20 percent employed in the Public Service and 30 percent employed in other industries including the energy sector, according to estimates from the Gulf View Residents Association.
The Gulf View Residents Association was formed in January 2004. The main objectives were to bring all the residents under one umbrella to enhance the spirit of togetherness, to be the watchdog for the community and to liaise with relevant agencies to ensure that proper social amenities are received. However, the group has since expanded its role to include planning and implementing community projects.
The association has 120 members and represents 1,200 households, with Andy Williams currently serving as Chairman and Neil Lesaldo as President.
