NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (December 19, 2016) — The Nevis Island Administration (NIA) plans to continue expanding the services offered at the Alexandra Hospital once work, which is expected to commence on the physical plant in 2017, is completed.
Deputy Premier of Nevis and Minister of Health Hon. Mark Brantley said at a recent sitting of the Nevis Island Assembly, that the steel frame for the hospital’s expansion is expected to be installed in January 2017 followed by a construction period of 18 to 24 months.

NIA CHARLESTOWN NEVIS (October 28, 2016) — The Nevis Island Administration (NIA) and the High Command of the Royal St. Christopher and Nevis Police Force in conjunction with the Federal Government are taking steps to redeploy police officers stationed at the Newcastle Police Station to neighbouring police districts by November 15, 2016, as a temporary measure.

He said the police station has become unfit for humans to work in and it has become necessary to safeguard them from further exposure to what he termed as unhealthy conditions there.
Mr. Amory stated that Hon. Alexis Jeffers, Minister responsible for Communication and Works on Nevis and the Area Representative for the Parish of St. James’, will spearhead the process of demolishing the building, finding a suitable plan and the relevant financing to construct a new police station in that area.
