Rodrigues appeals to Amelia Ward residents to desist from squatting

Incomplete structures in the Amelia’s Ward housing development

While assuring of her commitment to resolving issues of land ownership with squatters in Amelia’s Ward, Linden, Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water Susan Rodrigues on Friday appealed to residents to desist from taking plots that were not theirs.

She announced that her ministry is forging ahead with a plan to develop 2000 house lots in the community. This development in the housing sector, she noted, has the potential to solve the region’s housing needs as the authorities are in the process of developing 600 acres of land.
