Some residents living along Collymore Rock, St Michael are pleading with the National Housing Corporation (NHC) to clear a large portion of land which Government owns and which runs behind their properties.
A resident explained that the land starts in the vicinity of the People’s Cathedral Church also in Collymore Rock, extending all the way to neighbouring Pine Gardens and ends where the new Fire Station is being built.
The land, they say has not been fully cleared for close to ten years and is overgrown with trees and bushes.
“We have been calling the property manager at NHC to get the area debushed but they have only been sending teams to cut portions of the grass here and there. Just before Easter they cut the grass from behind our palings but that is not enough – behind there is like a forest,” a resident lamented.
Another questioned why a tractor had been operating in the Pine Gardens area debushing land over there but the same had not been done in Collymore Rock.
