Guave Road farmers who've been involved in a legal dispute with the Chaguaramas Development Authority will soon receive leases for the lands they've occupied for over 30 years. This, as Cabinet has agreed to divest the lands owned by the CDA. The Guave Road Lands will be excised from the original parcel and placed under the control of the Ministry of Agriculture, Land and Fisheries. Planning and Development Minister, Camille Robinson-Regis, says the 1974 Chaguaramas Development Plan prohibited the CDA from granting agricultural leases to farmers for what has become known as the Guave Road Triangle. She said the farmers have been in constant occupation of about 122.6 acres of the land in excess of 30 years, and in some instances in excess of 50 years, and had come to legitimately expect continued occupation and ownership. She says though the matter between the Guave Road Farmers Association and the CDA is still ongoing, both parties had previously agreed to enter into mediation proceedings, and the Court has been duly informed that settlement discussions were taking place.
