There are 173 squatter areas across regions Two to Six, and regions Nine and Ten which have been identified as being suitable for regularization, according to Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) Director for Community Development Gladwin Charles.

Of the 173 areas identified, 159 of them have been surveyed, Charles told a press conference last Monday. The surveys for the remainder, he said, are in various stages of completion.

So far, Charles said 500 lots have been created and that 2,400 lots will ultimately be created through current regularisation efforts once the surveys are done.
