‘Come clear’ on Belle squatters

OPPOSITION MP Trevor Prescod has called for Government to explain its next move regarding the scores of people still squatting in The Belle, St Michael, a Zone 1 water catchment area.

He made the comments in the House of Assembly yesterday, the second day of the annual Estimates Debate.
