The Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) yesterday said it had reached an amicable settlement with sixteen residents of Amelia’s Ward, Linden who said that their structures had been demolished by the CH&PA and they are to be allocated house lots in other areas.

CH&PA Chief Executive Officer Sherwyn Greaves visited the area yesterday after Region 10 officials expressed disgust at the way bulldozing of the structures had occurred to make way for a housing scheme road.
