A lawyer’s letter directing the Beterverwagting/Triumph Neighbourhood Democratic Council (NDC) to make preparations for the passing of the transport for 143.10 acres in the area has set off alarm bells among residents, who fear efforts were being made to steal their property.

“The matter at caption refers. I am instructed that my client purchased [from] your NDC on the 30th day of November, 2021, immovable property situate at Section ‘G’ Plantation Beterverwagting in the Triumph/Beterverwagting NDC Village District, East Coast Demerara, which lot consists of 143.10 acres. This missive serves to inform you that my client is ready, willing and able to complete the conveyance. In the circumstances, I shall be grateful if the necessary acts can be taken to ensure the filing, advertising and passing of transport in favour of my client,” states the March 16, 2022 letter, which was sent by attorney Shaunella Glen-George to the BV/Triumph Overseer Michelle Otto.
