The Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation (NHLDC) came to the assistance of some Brown Hill residents, who recently received eviction notices from a private landowner at Pembroke Estate.

Manager Mr. Eustace Nisbett Jr. said on October 3, during a visit to the estate, that the Corporation was made aware of the situation and moved swiftly to relocate the residents to a new housing area at Low Ground. The move he said was in keeping with the Nevis Island Administration’s (NIA) plan to provide proper social transformation. The estate has four residential structures and one business.

“Pembroke Estate as we know it is a privately owned property and has been so for a number of years and remains in that status today. Unfortunately, there are a number of persons who would have taken up residence and have conducted business in some cases on this property,” he said.
