Browne Warns Pelican Court Tenants Could Face Eviction for Drug Dealing

Prime Minister Gaston Browne says tenants at Pelican Court could face eviction if they breach occupancy rules, including by selling narcotics.

Speaking on the Browne and Browne Show, Browne said the government was putting rules in place to protect the housing development and maintain its condition.

He said the objective was to ensure the former Booby Alley area developed into a well-maintained residential community.

Browne also referred to physical measures to protect common areas, including planters intended to prevent vehicles from entering and damaging walkways.

The Prime Minister said residents would be expected to observe a different standard in the new development.

He did not present the final tenancy agreement or explain the procedures that would apply to eviction. His comments outlined the government’s intended approach to management and enforcement.
