Roads at PIE to get names

The notice boards indicating the names of each of the 15 roads at the Providence Industrial Estate (PIE) are due to be set up soon.

This was announced by the Minister for Industries and International Business, Mr Jacquelin Dugasse, when he was answering questions in the National Assembly last Tuesday.

The question about the possibility to set up an address system at PIE was asked by Hon. Nicholas Prea, the MNA for Bel Ombre.

Minister Dugasse said that a committee, chaired by the Land Transport Division, has been meeting for some time now to decide the names for the roads at PIE.

The committee, he said, has decided to give them the names of popular ships which had called in Port Victoria in the past or which had been part of our maritime history like the ill-fated schooner Mary Jane, and those of rare plants found in our environment. The names chosen, he said, had received government approval.

A board indicating the location and distance of each of the roads, he said, would be erected by the roadside at the entrance to the PIE.  Naming the roads, the minister said, would make it easier to identify the location of the businesses situated at the PIE, hence facilitating the delivery of post mails.
