A mix of reactions

Some residents of Six Men’s Village in St Peter are optimistic about moves that will allow long-time inhabitants to secure legal titles.

Some, on the other hand, have reservations about the motives behind the action.

During a Barbados Labour Party meeting in Speightstown on Wednesday night, St Peter candidate Colin Jordan, the incumbent, noted that for decades, residents have lived without legal title, some without direct water connections and were dismissed as squatters under previous administrations.
