Hundreds of Region 3 residents were yesterday assured of house lots by the end of June, according to the Department of Public Information (DPI).
They were in attendance at the sixth government outreach held at the National Track and Field Centre, in Edinburgh, West Coast of Demerara. DPI said that many had arrived as early as 5.30 am to be the first in line at the Central Housing and Planning Authority’s (CH&PA) booth.
CH&PA’s CEO, Lelon Saul told DPI that persons who have applied for house lots will be documented and contacted via telephone within two months when there are house lots available.
“We have 500 house lots at Meten-Meer-Zorg, WCB for applicants and these plots of land will be going within the low and middle-income bracket. It is our priority that we meet the pockets of everyone, we will be satisfied once persons who would have applied, especially those who would have applied for more than a decade are allocated land”, he told DPI.
Saul said that given the magnitude of the number of persons who attended yesterday’s outreach and the inability to service all present, another outreach will be held by the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) on Thursday from 10 am to 5 pm. The exercise will prioritise more than 400 persons who were asked to return to have their issues addressed, DPI said.
