Squatters at Cane View/Herstelling (Mocha), who have been given a final grace period of two weeks by the Ministry of Housing to move, say they are not satisfied with the offer to them and they won’t be able to undertake any commercial activity where they are to be relocated.
Those living in the area known as Pepper Field have been accused by the Ministry of impeding plans for the Eccles to Great Diamond Four-Lane Highway on the East Bank Demerara.
Stabroek News yesterday visited the squatting area and was told that some residents have been living there for approximately 30 years and others for 15 years. Most of the residents occupying the area are engaged in commercial activities like cattle rearing, farming and running beverage shops.
