Squatters’ cry

SEVERAL SQUATTERS within St Michael districts say they have been forgotten and left in the dark.

When the SUNDAY SUN visited Howells Cross Road, The Belle, Waterford and Headley’s Land, they appealed for Government to provide water, light and sewage facilities.

The settlers say they are forced to fetch buckets of water from standpipes and rely on pit toilets and oil lamps. (LT)
