Barbuda’s Land Adjudication Process Advances

The Land Adjudication Process in Barbuda is moving forward, with significant progress in delivering notices to the public.

To ensure full community participation, members of the Adjudication Committee traveled to Barbuda to personally distribute the relevant Section 5 and 6 notices and registration forms pursuant to the Land Adjudication Act, Cap. 234. This is a pivotal step in the ongoing land registration process. The notices and forms are now available in several key public offices around the island, providing easy access for residents and interested parties.

The following locations have been designated as points where the notices can be accessed:

• Antigua and Barbuda Public Utilities

• Barbuda Police Station

• Barbuda Fire Station

• Antigua Commercial Bank

• Sir McChesney George Secondary School

• Holy Trinity Primary School

• Barbuda Electoral Office

• Radio Light House

Citizens are encouraged to visit these locations to review the notices and participate in the land registration application process. The application process remains ongoing, and individuals can submit their applications for land registration in all nine adjudication sections. The nine Registration Sections are as follows:

1. West Coast

2. Palmetto

3. South Coast

4. Salt Lake

5. East Coast

6. Midlands

7. Two Foot Bat

8. North Coast

9. Lagoon

This critical step in Barbuda’s land adjudication process is crucial to ensuring proper land ownership documentation, security, and development. The government encourages all eligible Barbuda citizens to register their lands and participate in this process.

Written claims may be delivered to the Antigua Public Utilities Authority, the Police Station, or the Fire Station in Barbuda or in Antigua at the Land Registry on High Street or the Ministry of Legal Affairs, Parliament Drive during normal working hours or via email at technical.barbuda@ab.gov.ag

Claim forms may be obtained in Barbuda at the Antigua Public Utilities Authority, the Police Station or Fire Station, or in Antigua at the Land Registry or the Ministry of Legal Affairs during normal working hours or online.

The adjudication team will be conducting an interview with the Barbuda Chanel on Wednesday, 8th January, at 4:15 PM to further inform members of the public about the adjudication process.

    This is a real controversial issue and if one is going to comment fairly the individual has got to weigh both sides of the argument equally. On one side you have the Barbudans and their lands and hundreds of years of tradition and legacy. Land not for sale. On the other side you have The Antigua prime minister wanting to sell their lands to expats to build private all inclusive estates etc, leaving none for the future Barbudans and pocketing the money….

    SO SO VERY SAD SAD SAD!!!!

    This Movement by OUR Government to TOTALLY Disregard THIS Community Land Legacy which makes ANU/BAR So Unique, Speaks Very Loudly of The Mental and Psychological SLAVERY which persists among MOST of our
    (?Educated) People —- Slavery REPARATION Seekers included…..How can THEY possibly Explain Their Actions!!!! ……… And ALL THIS to make BARBUDA “A Jumby Bay on Steriods??? Are They Listening to themselves????

    …….: To further complicate matters, These Persons who are demonstrating the Orreo (black outside, white inside) Cookie Mentality, who claiming to be Educated, ……are also, during THIS Very Same Period, Seeking REPARATIONS For The AMOUNT AND DEGREE OF INJUSTICES Committed Against Our African Ancestors during the Hundreds of years of SLAVERY!!!!!

    So HOW In Heaven’s Name Can You People CONSPIRE AGAINST Your OWN PEOPLE To Take This Community Held LAND (?Already PAID FOR by PAPA BIRD WITH OUR TAXPAYERS HARD EARNED MONEY) under the Guise of Individual Land Ownership……

    ……….. You ALL Know that the Prime Minister already promised the PLH (OUR ENSLAVERS DESCENDANTS) that PLH will be able to buy the portion of LANDS they PRESENTLY Occupy LEASEHOLD FOR ?99 YEARS in BARBUDA. The PEOPLES’ Land which PLH have had the Temerity to FENCE OFF!!!! Thus DENYING the very people who own the Land … Except for A CHANGE IN THE LAWS made by the UPP in 2007 by The Sitting Administration….. access to THEIR OWN LAND…….

    NO NO NO …. We ALL Cannot Be THAT IGNORANT….. or Are We????
