Minister of Housing, Lands and Maintenance Dwight Sutherland today promised that a housing boom is coming to Barbados as he outlined several housing projects across the country to take residents out of squalor.Providing an update on those projects, some of which have already started, Sutherland explained that Government was keen on moving residents from unsafe environments.“We need to move with haste and we have no time to waste and persons telling us we [are] too hasty. When you have people living in squalor we have to move with alacrity,” he said.Sutherland was introducing a resolution in Parliament on Tuesday, for the acquisition of three parcels of land – two in Kensington New Road, St Michael totalling 11,480 square feet, and one in Beckles Land, New Orleans totalling 37,529 square feet.
