HOUSE lot identification is ongoing at the Cummings Lodge, East Coast Demerara Housing Development, in line with a recent commitment of the Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal.

This is to ensure those allocated lands at the scheme can access their lands and commence construction of their homes as infrastructure works move ahead.
On Friday, some 30 moderate-income allottees were able to identify their lands with guidance from the Surveys Unit of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA).

The excited landowners and their families stated that they were satisfied with the lands and the work of the Ministry and CHPA.

Allottee, Mr Phillip Khan stated that he has been renting for some years now, and having his land now puts him in a position to provide better shelter for his family.

“I proud about the land that I got because I go through so many tribulations in life,” Mr. Khan said. He added, “I planning to build a house on it because I fed up paying rent and being insulted.”

Another landowner at the scheme, Mr. Wynton Daniels shared, “I can finally say I’m at ease. This is mine [and] this is something that I will be able to pass on to my generations”. Mr. Daniels also highlighted plans to begin construction as soon as possible.
