The government, through the municipal corporations amendment bill, intend to make changes to the country's local government structure.

One of those changes include elevating the Chaguanas Borough Corporation to the Chaguanas City Corporation.

We took to the streets of Chaguanas today to hear what the people had to say.
Transcript
00:00Yes, I think it's a good idea.
00:04Chagunas is a very developed borough.
00:07Very developed, so no problem in it.
00:11Some of that city.
00:12But they're in a hospital. We get a hospital.
00:15We gotta get a hospital.
00:16It's a good move here. City status is a good thing one.
00:20We get the police out here more often too.
00:22Yes, it's a good thing, but have a butt with it.
00:25They don't know if things will go up.
00:27The traffic is so horrible.
00:29It might be worse.
00:30But if it will curb the crime,
00:32and it will come out in the night,
00:34get your little double, get something to buy,
00:36that will be wonderful.
00:38Because city will bring more people.
00:40It will be better for us with traffic.
00:43Chagunas is a beautiful place.
00:45It's very active.
00:47And I like to be a city to benefit me.
00:52So I can come and shop and
00:55bring my kids and my wife.
00:59So it's a good move from the Prime Minister to make it a city.
01:04It's a nice, a very nice thing.
01:07But we need better roads.
01:09The closing roads, we had better flow and traffic.
01:15We need it to open back.
01:17And we need a hospital.
01:20Once we get that, we go.
01:22Chagunas become a city's failure.
01:23Because you're not bad.
01:24You're going to hustle for the hustlers on them.
01:27And there will be pressure.
01:28The food isn't pressure on me already.
01:30And there will be more pressure for you.
01:32So it's making sense to become a city.
01:34But I see the borough on them.
01:36There's so much of people in Chagunas.
01:38Right?
01:39And Chagunas, I think, for Spain and others,
01:42borrows competition.
01:44You know?
01:45It improves business and everything.
01:47Yeah.
01:47Plenty, plenty.
01:48Plenty of people.
01:49Even in the healthcare system,
01:51a lot of people.
01:52You know?
01:52You know how the population is growing up?
01:55Yes, it is.
01:57Very much so.
01:57Yeah.
01:58I think it's a very good thing.
02:00To be honest.
02:00Because, um...
02:02Uh...
02:03Everybody know Chagunas just like Tom.
02:05To be honest.
02:06You know what I mean?
02:07It's one of the most mean places.
02:09You know?
02:10Let's be watching.
02:11Everybody is like...
02:12It's a shopping zone.
02:13All right.
02:14So, yeah.
02:15Just no problem with that.
02:16It's a good thing.
