Quiet Festive Season Sparks Renewed Focus on Vieux Fort Community Challenges

VIEUX FORT, Saint Lucia – Vieux Fort, St Lucia, once a vibrant southern hub, faced a quiet festive season that left residents reflecting on the town’s systemic issues and ongoing community challenges. The lack of activity has reignited discussions about Vieux Fort community challenges, with many questioning whether these obstacles, compounded by a lack of leadership and unity, require transformative efforts to revitalize the area. This story was first reported by Loop St. Lucia.

While neighboring communities such as Soufriere, Laborie, and Choiseul came alive with festive celebrations, Vieux Fort was largely devoid of activity. The only semblance of holiday cheer was found in Bruceville, a small area where residents took it upon themselves to organize festivities despite limited resources.

Voices of Frustration and Calls for Change

Many residents expressed dismay over Vieux Fort’s lack of holiday events, attributing it partly to governmental neglect but also to what some describe as a lack of unity and leadership within the community itself.

“You mean Vieux Fortians can’t come together to make things happen in the community, especially since we are neglected by the authorities? That’s a shame,” a resident, speaking anonymously, told Loop St. Lucia.

Another resident lamented, “Vieux Fort was dead, dead for the season. Vieux Fortians seldom show the level of community spirit that is being exhibited in close-knit communities in the south, such as Laborie, Choiseul, and Soufriere.”

A Shared Desire for Renewal

The disappointment among residents, however, is not devoid of hope. Angela Joseph, a Bruceville resident who spearheaded a small Christmas event for neighborhood children, shared her perspective: “We couldn’t let the season pass without doing something, even if it’s small. These kids deserve to smile and feel the joy of Christmas.”

Joseph’s determination reflects a sentiment shared by others in Vieux Fort who believe that change is possible if the community comes together. “We’ve faced a lot of challenges, but the only way to fix this is by starting with ourselves,” she added.

For many, the season’s quietness was a reminder of both the town’s struggles and its potential. Samuel Williams, a vendor in Vieux Fort, summed it up, saying, “We need to stop waiting for someone to come and save us. It’s our town, and we’ve got to make it what we want it to be.”

As 2025 begins, the stories of Angela Joseph and others provide a glimpse of what could be achieved through grassroots efforts. While the road to revitalization may seem daunting, the determination of Vieux Fort’s residents may well be the key to turning things around.
