Squatters’ piece of the rock

LIVING IN THE country’s biggest squatter settlement may not be ideal, but many of the residents say it’s the best they can do in the circumstances.

Forty-seven year-old Lenna Hunte was one of the first to occupy the last remaining acres of land at Rock Hall, St Philip.

“I came up here in 2013,” she told the SUNDAY SUN. “The reason why I bring my house and put it here is because I was on family land for 18 years and it was problems so I had to move to keep the peace. This was the only place that I could find.”

Hunte, who lives with her boyfriend, said she heard people saying that “duh putting down houses down here”, so she paid a bobcat driver $150 to clear a portion of the land.
