VIDEO: Minister Advocates for Extended Compliance Period for Derelict Lots in St John’s
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.
