Housing and Water Minister, Collin Croal on Friday announced that some 800 allottees within the Cummings Lodge, 1767 Development will have access to their land, in time for Christmas.
The Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) said that the announcement was made when the Minister made an impromptu visit to the area to meet with contractors.
The Minister toured the area, starting from the Aubrey Barker access point to the Cummings Lodge 1767 Development, then to the Eccles highway.
According to Croal, people have been waiting far too long for access to their lands, and as such he issued an ultimatum to the contractors. A total of six contractors are carrying out work in the area.
These works include; the laying of the pipe network, road network, land clearing, and drainage infrastructure.
The contractors were told that all works must be completed by November 30, 2023; failure to meet this deadline will result in the Ministry applying liquidated damages, the CH&PA said.
