Squatters’ cry

Date:

Share post:

SEVERAL SQUATTERS within St Michael districts say they have been forgotten and left in the dark.

When the SUNDAY SUN visited Howells Cross Road, The Belle, Waterford and Headley’s Land, they appealed for Government to provide water, light and sewage facilities.

The settlers say they are forced to fetch buckets of water from standpipes and rely on pit toilets and oil lamps. (LT)

Here, a few residents in Belleview, Waterford, lining up at the standpipe early yesterday morning to wash clothes and collect water. (Picture by Reco Moore.)
