Coverley for squatters?

MOVE THE squatters from the Belle, St Michael, to the more serene accommodation at Coverley, Christ Church, an Opposition MP has suggested  to Government.

And if those residents can’t be moved, then leave them where  they are, Member of Parliament for St Michael East, Trevor Prescod, argued in the House  of Assembly last night.

Either way, Prescod wants Government to state clearly what they plan to do about the issue.

Prescod was speaking in the Lower House as members debated an amendment to the Sanitation Service Authority (SSA) Act, in which illegal dumping came into focus, but said that the issue of the fate of persons living in Zone 1 areas such as the Belle, should also be placed on the front-burner.
