Yacht Arrivals to Antigua, 2024i Official government figure for all yacht arrivals island-wide. How many moored in the National Park? Unknown — the NPA doesn’t publish that. But every vessel that did paid anchorage fees, mooring fees, garbage fees, and more.

Est. Annual NPA Revenuei Based on Dun & Bradstreet business data reporting ~US$2.86M in annual sales, converted at the fixed XCD rate of 2.70 to 1 USD. No audited public accounts are available — that’s part of the problem.

Alan Weston in the St. Paul's community

Not a politician.
A voice for St. Paul's.

Everyone in St. Paul's knows Spotlight. He's been here his whole life — not passing through on a campaign trail, not parachuting in before an election. He's the person you see at the market, at the school gate, on the road when the pipe bursts at 6 a.m.

He's running independent because the problems in St. Paul's aren't red or blue — they're broken roads, dry taps, and an Authority that collects millions without telling you where it goes. No party whip is going to tell him what to prioritize. You are.

April 30, 2026 is a chance to send someone to Parliament who doesn't owe anyone anything — except this community.

"I've listened to what St. Paul's needs for long enough. Now someone has to actually do the work."

Alan "Spotlight" Weston

The Issues That Matter

Not campaign slogans. Real things people tell us on doorsteps.

National Parks Reform

EC$7.7 million in estimated annual revenue. Zero public financial reports. The NPA regulates businesses and competes with them at the same time. That has to change.

Infrastructure & Roads

You know which roads. You drive them every day. Potholes that have been there for years, drainage that floods every rainy season. We'll publish a fix list and tick it off publicly.

Water & Utilities

When your tap runs dry at midday or your light bill doubles with no explanation, that's not bad luck — that's a service failure. We'll demand published service standards and hold providers to them.

Youth Opportunity

Too many young people leave St. Paul's because there's nothing to stay for. We'll push for skills training tied to real industries — tourism, marine, trades — and make sure young voices shape the decisions that affect them.

Cost of Living

Groceries cost more every month. Fees keep rising. But wages stay flat and nobody explains where the money goes. We'll fight for local food supply chains, fair pricing, and public accounting of every dollar collected.

Local Business Support

If you're a local operator trying to make an honest living, the rules should be clear and the playing field should be level. Not one set of rules for insiders and another for everyone else.

Shining a Light on National Parks

We support our parks. We demand accountability in how they're run.

The Facts

  • The National Parks Act (1984) created a self-funded Authority that collects fees with no public reporting requirement
  • The NPA operates its own marina and commercial services while also licensing and regulating private businesses — regulator and competitor in one
  • Tourist entry: US$15/visit. Vessel garbage: ~US$1/person/day. Over 825,000 cruise passengers in 2024 alone.
  • Board members are appointed, not elected. The 2004 law requires "consultation" with communities but doesn't define what that means
  • Local operators need an NPA business licence to trade — issued by the same Authority that runs competing commercial services

What We're Asking For

  • Publish annual financial reports so residents can see how fee revenue is spent
  • Separate the operator and regulator roles — you can't grade your own homework
  • Give St. Paul's residents a structured voice in Park decisions that affect their lives
  • Set clear, enforceable service standards that match the fees collected
  • Fair access to business opportunities for local operators — not just connected insiders

"If you pay fees, you should see services. That's not an attack on national parks — that's accountability."

A Different Kind of Representative

Win or lose on April 30, Alan is still in St. Paul's on May 1. Still on your road. Still your neighbor. That's the difference between a politician and a representative.

01

Transparency

Quarterly public reports: what was collected, what was spent, what's next. No more guessing where the money goes. If it's public money, the public sees it.

02

Local Voice

No more decisions about St. Paul's made without St. Paul's. Structured community consultation — not a suggestion box that nobody reads.

03

Accountability

You'll see me on the street, at the market, on your road. Not once every five years — every week. If something isn't getting done, tell me to my face. That's how it should work.

APRIL 30, 2026

Twenty years of the same conversations. The same promises. The same results. This is the first time St. Paul's has a candidate who answers to no one but you.
