The Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) yesterday said that as promised occupants of a section of Plantation Blairmont (Shieldstown), Region Five, are having their land ownership documents processed.
Yesterday, residents were to receive their Agreement of Sale; and sign up for their Certificate of Title, which will be issued at a later date, a release from the CH&PA said.
A team from the CH&PA-Community Development Department, led by Director Gladwin Charles, along with the Conveyance Unit, facilitated the process. Charles also handed over some of the Agreements of Sale to residents earlier.
Last week, Susan Rodrigues Minister within the Ministry of Housing & Water, made the commitment during a community meeting. The beneficiaries have been living in the area without formal documentation for over 30 years, the release said. The regularisation process began in 2014, with surveys completed in 2015. Some 26 lots were created in the area but progress was delayed due to a change in government that same year and the process resumed under the Ali administration. The recent securing of the Block Title by CH&PA now allows for the processing of individual titles for verified occupants, bringing much-needed relief and security to these families.
