 Minister for Housing and Local Government Hon. Richard Fedrick says government is moving with due haste with plans for land rationalization across the island. Hermadi Mack has the details. Minister in the office of the Prime Minister with responsibility for housing and local government Hon. Richard Fedrick has announced that the government of Zinduja is seeking to provide individuals living on parish-owned lands in the Henry South constituency the opportunity to own the property at affordable rates. The announcement was made during a recent swearing in ceremony at the council. This forms part of the government of Zinduja's thrust to promote local land ownership. You have indicated to me that loads of houses in the Henry South are on parish land. Mr. District Rep, where is Lorraine Matthews? Are you here? Yes, you're somewhere there. I need you to be in contact with the District Rep like yesterday. Let us acquire those lands and let's give title to the people of Henry who up to now are occupying those parish lands. We are doing it all over. I can promise you before next year end I want most of those people to have title at a very, very cheap rate. You see, about two weeks ago we were in Tirochet and I went to a development there. There are about 14 people with houses, nice houses on the land. And as minister I urge the government to move in the direction of giving the land to those people for free. It is time solutions get a part of Zinduja. Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries, Food Security and Rural Development and Parliamentary Representative of Henry South, Hon. Alfred Prospe while addressing the newly sworn in councillors highlighted the areas in the constituency that require constituency council's attention. You are responsible to take care of the needs of the community. You are responsible to help address the issues confronting us in the community and you know there are many. And with the support of the Parliamentary Rep, with the support of the Government of Zinduja, we will make it happen. If you walk along the beachfront now you would see the mess that this beachfront is in. You go to the fishing port, you would see the mess that the fishing port is in. You drive up to the lamp went by the fire station. You would see so many of those booths are just sitting there empty. These are just suggestions I am making for the Henry constituency council to consider. Nine new councillors were appointed to the Henry South constituency council. Dexter Michael Landers serves as chairperson of the constituency council and Ronnie Francis, deputy chairperson from the Government Information Service. The Maddie Mark reporting.
