NASSAU, BAHAMAS — The Office of the Attorney General has filed a summons seeking permission to demolish the expansion of a shanty town in Abaco and two locations in New Providence.
Shanty towns on both islands are protected by a Supreme Court injunction blocking demolition or further construction pending a judicial review into whether their removal is unconstitutional.
“Despite the injunction, some residents and occupiers have continued to construct and alter buildings without obtaining the necessary building permits, which violates the Building Regulations Act,” read the AG’s press statement.
