Squatters at various points along the East Bank Demerara sea defence reserve are to be relocated within six months, according to the CHPA.
A release from the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA) yesterday said that 317 structures including 57 owned by Venezuelan immigrants are on the reserves at Little Diamond (15 structures), Great Diamond (49 structures), Grove (96 structures), Herstelling Sea Dam (86 structures), Farm Sea Dam (45 structures) and Covent Garden (7 structures).
Of the 317 structures, close to thirty are unoccupied. Monitoring will be done at the area and no new structures will be allowed, the CHPA said.
