Land Slippage Victims Relocate to Carille

Contact: John Emmanuel

Officials of the Ministry of Planning say things are progressing smoothly in the massive relocation drive for scores of families affected by the Black Mallet/Maynard land slippage. Director of Planning Alison King-Joseph says quotations from the various utilities companies on the proposed relocation site in Carille, have been received, and Ministry of Communications Works and Transport is currently in the process of putting out tender documents for road and drainage construction.

Joseph "Bear in mind it is an extensive development, we have in excess of 80 lots proposed within that new site. So far we have moved closed to 80 households. Now not all of these are going to be necessarily relocated, it depends on the status of tenure that they had with the affected area."

The Ministry of Planning and other relevant agencies like the Officer of Disaster Preparedness continues to meet with individual households to ascertain what level of support can be offered.
