More than one hundred residents of Block SS, North Sophia, are set to benefit from an improved quality of life and enhanced infrastructure as plans are being developed to regularise the area.
This announcement was made by Minister Susan Rodrigues, who visited the location on Tuesday to assess the situation. She was accompanied by Community Development Director Mr. Gladwin Charles and a team of surveyors, who conducted a walkthrough of the area in question.
According to Minister Rodrigues, the area has been inhabited since the early 1980s.
Previous attempts to regularise it faced numerous challenges. However, this time, the Minister assured that the Ministry is committed to resolving these issues.
“It’s a very complicated area in terms of establishing drains, roadways, and footpaths, but nevertheless, we are here today to make another attempt,” said Minister Rodrigues.
As soon as next week, surveyors will return to conduct a new occupational survey. The data collected during this process will inform the next steps, including determining the number of occupants, the structures present, and possible designs for roads, drains, and footpaths.
Once the survey is completed, Minister Rodrigues plans to engage with residents to share the findings and outline the necessary steps to properly regularize the area. She emphasised that if residents are willing to cooperate and make some adjustments, the process for securing a Certificate of Title can progress.
