The government will begin demolishing abandoned and derelict properties next week after owners failed to respond to amenity orders, Minister for Social and Urban Transformation Rawdon Turner said.
Turner said amenity audits were issued to property owners in Villa, Point and the Ottos areas, but some orders expired without any response, triggering direct government action.
“Some amenity audits were issued to properties in the city: Villa, Point and the Ottos community areas,” Turner said. “And the time has just about expired.
So what people can look forward to seeing now is the actual process of demolition and cleaning up of some of these vacant lots in and around the city.”
He said the work will involve demolishing derelict structures and clearing vacant lots, with heavy equipment deployed as early as next week.
“As of next week, you’ll see excavators, 20-ton trucks moving into place to start the process of beautifying these lots,” Turner said.
The minister said the initiative is part of a broader effort to improve urban spaces and address long-standing eyesores across the city. He added that plans are also in place to fence the cleared properties and involve students from various schools in beautifying the areas with murals.
