Mocha Arcadia informal settlers take part in lot ID exercise at new location

The first group of Mocha Arcadia, East Bank Demerara informal settlers (squatters), who were recently allocated house lots, on Friday took part in a lot identification exercise, allowing them to view the boundaries of their respective house lots.
According to the Housing Ministry, the exercise was facilitated by the Surveys Unit, the Community Development Department and the Enforcement and Compliance Department of the Ministry of Housing – Central Housing & Planning Authority (CH&PA) Friday morning.

The informal settlers being relocated include persons within the alignment of a new access road being constructed at Fields 1–3 to serve recently regularised residents, as well as individuals occupying lands at Fields 4–6.
Both groups are being relocated to vacant house lots at Fields 1–3, marking an important step in their transition from informal, illegal occupancy to secure tenure and improved living conditions through the government’s intervention, the ministry noted.
