Minister in the Ministry of Housing, Phillip Alexander, has reaffirmed the Government’s commitment to improving housing conditions following a site visit to the Marcano Quarry Lands, also known as “Canada,” in Laventille.

Accompanied by officials from the Housing Development Corporation, the minister assessed the deteriorating conditions facing residents as part of the Ministry’s ongoing programme of field inspections aimed at identifying communities in urgent need of intervention.

The visit follows a similar assessment conducted three months ago at the HDC development on Nelson and George Streets in Port of Spain, reflecting the Ministry’s continued effort to evaluate housing communities across the country and accelerate the delivery of housing solutions.
