St. John\u2019s Rural South MP Daryll Matthew<\/strong> has issued a strong call for action against abandoned and decaying buildings, describing them as \u201chavens for criminals and rodents\u201d<\/em> during Thursday\u2019s parliamentary debate on the Tax Administration and Procedure (Amendment) Bill 2025<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Speaking in support of the measure, Matthew said the legislation will finally give government the tools to address derelict and neglected properties<\/strong> that have become eyesores and public health hazards in communities across the island.<\/p>

He revealed that a recent survey in the Lower Ottos area<\/strong> of his constituency identified 151 abandoned properties<\/strong>, many of which, he said, are overrun with vegetation, vermin, and criminal activity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThese properties have become havens for criminals and hotels for rodents,\u201d Matthew told the House. \u201cWe have an opportunity to turn what is now decay into development \u2014 to turn a nuisance into something nice.\u201d<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

The MP said the bill represents a practical way to improve the appearance and safety of neighborhoods while restoring a sense of civic pride. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He urged that the new legal powers be used not only to collect unpaid property taxes but also to beautify communities and make land available<\/strong> for productive use.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Matthew proposed that properties acquired through the process could be converted into green spaces, playgrounds, or housing lots<\/strong>, especially for residents living near the abandoned sites.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe can capitalize on all the opportunities that this bill presents by allowing us to beautify our communities, make land available to persons who live in and around those derelict properties, and remove the safe haven for criminals,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He also recommended the introduction of an escrow system<\/strong> to protect the proceeds of property sales in cases where an owner or heir later reappears, and suggested that stamp duty be waived<\/strong> for buyers who purchase derelict lots through public auction to encourage redevelopment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Matthew concluded that the measure is not about dispossessing citizens but about revitalizing communities<\/strong> and ensuring public safety. \u201cThis is a chance to improve the quality of life for everyone,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have been elected to solve problems, not allow them to rot in our neighborhoods.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Tax Administration and Procedure (Amendment) Bill 2025<\/strong> passed later that day with the government\u2019s majority support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
