AFC urges gov’t to fast track land for Leonora farmers

The Alliance For Change (AFC) is urging the government to deliver on a promise it made to provide alternative land for displaced farmers of the Leonora Dairy Farmers’ Co-op Society, whose land was cleared last year to accommodate the construction of a new secondary school and a modern athletic track.

According to the AFC, the 40-acre plot of land at Edinburg First Plot, Leonora, West Coast Demerara was cleared on May 27, 2010 without any oral or written notice being given to the group,
