ABLP candidate for St. Philip North, Randy Baltimore, has outlined a series of time-bound commitments focused on upgrading sports facilities and improving healthcare access, inviting residents to hold him accountable if he is returned to office.
According to Antigua News Room, Baltimore made the pledges during an appearance on ABS Television's "Know Your Candidates" programme, describing his first 100 days in office as a critical window for delivering visible improvements in community infrastructure tied to youth development and public health.
"Yes, they're still on my priority list for the first 100 days," Baltimore said, referring to earlier pledges to upgrade sporting facilities and enhance operations at the Glanville's Polyclinic.
Work is already underway on several playing fields across the constituency. Lighting has been installed at facilities in Willikies and Glanvilles, a basketball court in Newfield has been completed and illuminated, and additional upgrades — including lighting for football fields and the construction of bathroom facilities — are expected to begin shortly.
Baltimore framed sports development as a key investment in young people, linking improved facilities to broader opportunities for growth and community engagement.
On healthcare, Baltimore said he will push for a stronger and more consistent presence of medical professionals at the Glanville's Polyclinic, with the goal of improving both efficiency and access to care for residents across St. Philip North and surrounding communities.
"I'll be advocating to make sure that we have doctors, different professionals in the medical field, to be there on a regular basis so that they could provide the necessary healthcare," he said.
Baltimore also highlighted recent progress in the area, including the opening of a pharmacy at the polyclinic and the pending deployment of an ambulance to serve eastern communities — a development he described as a major step toward faster emergency response times.
The candidate said the structured 100-day timeline is designed to give constituents a clear benchmark against which to measure his performance, in keeping with the accountability focus of the "Know Your Candidates" series.
"I want the residents of St. Philip's North to hold me accountable for the promises and for the advocacy of the things that I put forward," he said.
Baltimore is seeking re-election in the April 30 general election, having won the St. Philip North by-election last month with approximately 70 percent of the vote.
