1,600 house lots to be allocated in Linden in two weeks

In two weeks’ time, the Ministry of Housing and Water will be returning to Linden, Region 10 (Upper Demerara-Berbice) to distribute about 1,600 house lots to residents.

And, about 4,000 persons in the region have legitimate applications in the land management system of the Ministry of Housing and Water.

As they continue to wait patiently for their house lots, Minister within the Ministry of Housing and Water Susan Rodrigues assured last Wednesday that the government will continue to make new lands available for the people of Region 10.

During an outreach to Block 42, in Amelia’s Ward, Linden, she spoke about a new housing development at Wismar and other locations where lots will be distributed.

Five hundred house lots will be allocated in Fitz Hope, Linden and over 1,000 in Wismar.

“So big things are happening in Region 10 and we are not done there. We are looking at other areas, like Kwakwani, areas along the highway to make available to the people of this region and we will satisfy all of those applications; all of those people who have an old application will be able to come to us and get their land through the ministry in Linden,” Rodrigues shared.

In the coming weeks, she said road upgrades would also be conducted in Blue Berry Hill, an areas similar to Block 42 which had to be regularised. “This Block 42 will see similar type of development very soon,” she assured residents.
