#JamaicaGleaner NOVEMBER 30, 2023: In a promising move toward international collaboration, Mayor Donna Lumsden, of Barking and Dagenham in England (United Kingdom), has announced plans to establish an institution in Waterford, located in Portmore, St Catherine, focusing on training for disabled children and youth. During a visit to the Portmore municipality on Tuesday, Lumsden, who grew up in Waterford, engaged with Portmore Mayor Leon Thomas and municipal councillors to foster bilateral links between the two cities. While Fenley Douglas, councillor for the Waterford division, expressed scepticism due to the challenges faced by Barking and Dagenham, Thomas emphasised the potential for sharing best practices.
