14 squatters in Ogle flight zone to be relocated within 10 days — CH&PA(Kaieteur News) – The Central Housing and Planning Authority (CH&PA) says the 14 remaining squatters occupying the Cummings Park area-which falls within the flight zone of the Eugene F. Correia International Airport-will be relocated within the next 10 days.
Community Development Officer to the CEO, Rawle Aaron, said 14 settlers remain out of an original 89, with most families already resettled in De Endragt and other communities along the East Coast of Demerara.
The relocation follows a visit last year by Minister of Housing Collin Croal, who declared the area a zero-tolerance squatting zone, warning that the illegal occupation compromises aviation safety and puts the squatters themselves at risk.
“This is an area that, under no circumstance, we can have persons squatting or occupying the land.
It’s within the buffer zone for the Ogle authority, and so we have to act immediately,” Croal said.
