Minister of Housing and Water Collin Croal has denied that 20 squatters’ structures were bulldozed at Amelia’s Ward, Linden beginning on May 5th and he defended the move to clear the way for an access road stating that adequate notice had been given.
The government, through the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA), has been accused of dismantling at least 20 structures at Amelia’s Ward to clear the way for the construction of an access road.
The issue was brought to light by a series of Facebook posts by the Regional Democratic Council (RDC) of Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Upper Berbice) and Members of Parliament, Jermaine Figueira and Devin Sears.
