Those mobile homes got kicked around from one storage yard to another for a couple of years before they finally finished their travels at the Annex location.

What happened there? Probably a combination of neglect on the part of Government and abuse by the tenants.

In any case, they turned out to be a complete waste of money.

The PLP Government brought in similar “mobile” homes about 20 years ago. They lasted until the first storm.

The residents of Boaz Island a late with their objections. Where were they last year when Government first announced the, as Government calls them, modular homes?

These homes, in actual fact they are more commonly known as ‘park model RVs’, were supposed to be here, installed and ready for occupancy in February, according to the Minister responsible last year.

So, where are they? They cannot be rolled in, parked and ready to go. The site must be prepared, solid parking pads prepared, BELCO wiring installed, water supply installed, utility pedestals installed, sewer lines installed and paving done.

None of this has been done. Almost six months to prepare and nothing done. This clearly shows how serious this Government is about housing.

Who are these trailers for anyway? They are about 35′ long by no more than 8’6″ wide. No slideouts. No bigger really than FEMA homes.
