CHOGM TASKFORCE ASSURES ‘THERE IS NO INTENTION TO CLOSE DOWN ANTIGUA’ DURING EVENT

Residents and business owners in the country are to be briefed on planned road closures and traffic restrictions ahead of the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting, CHOGM 2026.

The CHOGM media and public affairs committee says town hall meetings will be held to help affected communities understand the arrangements and prepare for potential disruptions.

Co-lead for media and public relations, Everton Barnes, says the outreach will target businesses and residents in key areas.

He insists there is no plan for islandwide shutdowns resulting from the country’s hosting of CHOGM and its many side events.
