CHIEF Executive Officer (CEO) of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) Sherwyn Greaves on Monday conducted a site visit to the agency’s housing scheme at Amelia’s Ward – Phase Four, Linden, Region 10, where infrastructural works are ongoing.

Some 400 Lindeners were allocated lands by CH&PA at the scheme as the agency delivers on its mandate to make homeownership accessible to all Guyanese. Additionally, over $300 million was set aside for infrastructural works to ensure that allottees can live in wholesome communities.

Contractors have been working to clear the land for the construction of access roads; however, the emergence of new structures by squatters continues to stymie this development and affect the ability of legitimate land owners to begin construction of homes for their families.

The agency has since reminded persons that squatting is illegal and to desist from erecting structures in the area.

During the visit, the CEO was accompanied by the Regional Housing Officer, engineers and other technical staff attached to CH&PA.
