IN response to concerns raised by residents of Bath, Region Five, regarding infrastructure development at the Block ‘B’ Experiment Housing Scheme, Minister of Housing and Water, Collin Croal, visited the area on Sunday.

According to a post on the ministry’s official Facebook page, although the housing scheme is designed to accommodate just under 300 residential lots, residents have expressed concerns about the presence of nine tombs within the area and the potential impact of ongoing construction activities.

“During the engagement, the minister listened attentively to their concerns and recommendations for a resolution. Assurance was also given that engineers of the Central Housing and Planning Authority (CHPA) will closely monitor all construction activities to ensure that works proceed in a manner that is both respectful and non-disruptive to the existing site,” the post said.
