CABINET NOTES – The Attorney General announced that a law, which allows abandoned plots of land and decrepit buildings which pose health and security hazards, will be presented to Parliament giving government temporary control over such properties. 

The Minister of Works, under the law, will have the authority to beautify those plots and even to make mini-parks on the properties; they will not have permanent structures built thereon.

Given the sacrosanct nature ascribed to private property under the Constitution of Antigua and Barbuda, the new law will ensure that owners may reclaim the property at some future date.
