Seymour Mullings – File

By Gary Spaulding—-

Former Deputy Prime Minister and People’s National Party stalwart, Seymour Mullings is dead.

Mullings, who was also a former Finance Minister, Minister of Foreign Affairs, Health, Local Government and Agriculture, died after a protracted illness.

The man affectionately called ‘Foggy’ was 82 at the time of his death.

Remembered as a quiet and affable Parliamentarian, Mullings was highly respected by members on both sides of the divide.

However, he was adored by the people of South East St Ann who sent him into the Parliament to represent them on multiple occasions.

Late last year, the St Ann Parish Council passed a resolution asking for the roadway in South East St Ann to be so named the Seymour Mulling Boulevard.

So Loved was he in the constituency he represented in Parliament for 28 years that the current Member of Parliament, Lisa Hanna, was moved to request that the former MP to be so honoured.

She asked that the St Ann Council move the resolution to that effect.

The roadway identified to be named Seymour Mullings Boulevard is from Mount Diablo, or the border between St Ann and St Catherine, at the top of Mount Rosser road, west through to Friendship between Colegate and Walkers Wood, all of it within that Constituency.
