The Ministry of Housing and Water has issued land titles to some of the squatters at Pigeon Island, East Coast Demerara as part of ongoing efforts to eventually regularise the community.
The Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA) in a release on Friday, informed that the Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water, Susan Rodrigues had issued Certificates of Title to the first sixteen of some forty-four persons who were squatting at Pigeon Island. This it said, is in keeping with a commitment made by President Irfaan Ali to deliver the documents by yearend.
Among those present at the ceremony which took place at the Life Spring Ministries Multi-purpose Hall, Chateau Margot, East Coast Demerara, were CPHA Director of Community Development, Gladwin Charles, along with other officials from CHPA. The activity also follows the registration of the squatters for their Titles, just two weeks ago.
