As negotiations continue with some land owners in the pathway of the Wales Gas to Shore project, the majority have accepted proposals put to them with some choosing relocation instead of monies, Attorney General Anil Nandlall SC says.
“The owners were duly consulted, and negotiated consensual arrangements were arrived at with most of them, and the agreements are now being (drawn up) and discharged in accordance with the terms and conditions agreed upon. Some persons have accepted monetary compensation, while others have opted to accept land at alternative locations of comparative value,” Nandlall told Stabroek News yesterday when contacted for an update.
This newspaper reported on Saturday that government on Wednesday gazetted a series of orders for the acquisition of lands for the gas pipeline which will run along the West Demerara, with most falling in the Canal Number 1 area.
