The Urban and Transformation Minister, Rawdon Turner, announced plans to request an extension of the compliance period for derelict lots in St John’s.

While current legislation allows for a standard amenity order of 30 days, the Minister is advocating for a significant increase to a 60-day order.

The move is in response to ongoing concerns about the condition of abandoned and neglected properties, which have been a blight on the community.

The Minister emphasized the importance of enhancing the quality of living spaces and ensuring safety for residents.

  2. Truth be told stone I see Turners vision. Men like that travel the world and see organized things. There are people who just love the ghetto mentality and want to remain down in the delta. One day the next general will appreciate it.

    • I agree…. When you get to travel as often as they do and be exposed to different cultures and ways of doing positive things you get the sense of wanting to make an impact in your domain

    • Maybe with cleanliness and order, in Antigua in general and our capital specifically, more visitors will come and spend more money here in Antigua helping the cost of sugar to go down.

  7. How much more time they need. I’ve been hearing the government talking about owners of them buildings need to do something about them and still nothing is being done.
    But once the government decides to take action like what they did with Alfa Nero all kinds of people will come out of the woodwork to state claim.
    Clean up all u nasty buildings
