We, the undersigned citizens, residents, and supporters of St. Kitts and Nevis, respectfully call on the relevant authorities to rename Roxborough Street in Newtown, Basseterre, to King Ellie Matt Street.

Elston “King Ellie Matt" Nero made a lasting cultural impact on our nation through his music, storytelling, and dedication to preserving the authentic spirit of Kittitian life. His work reflected the voice of the people, celebrated our identity, and contributed meaningfully to the cultural heritage of our Federation.

Roxborough Street, located in the heart of Newtown, is a fitting place to honor his legacy—ensuring that future generations recognize and remember his contributions to our society. Renaming this street would:

• Pay tribute to a national cultural icon
• Preserve and promote our local heritage
• Inspire young artists and citizens
• Strengthen community pride and identity

We urge the Government, the Basseterre City Council, and all relevant stakeholders to take the necessary steps to officially recognize Elston “King Ellie Matt" Nero in this meaningful and lasting way. Let us honor our heroes not only in memory but in the spaces we live, walk, and grow.

Call to Action: Sign this petition and share it with your family, friends, and community to support the renaming of Roxborough Street in honor of a true son of the soil.
