Both the Regional Chair-man and Opposition Member of Parliament for Region 10 have called on the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) to “put in writing”, the promises of relocation for aggrieved Amelia’s Ward squatters as a safeguard.
Regional Chairman Deron Adams and MP Jermaine Figueira made the call during a press conference yesterday.
Between May 05 and 06, the CH&PA allegedly bulldozed about 20 structures that were illegally constructed at Phase Four Amelia’s Ward, Linden in an effort to begin construction on an access road for the housing scheme. The regional leaders have been calling for the government to act and provide some alternative arrangements for the squatters.
