Text

Minister, I am sure that you agree that we cannot continue to leave residents in limbo. There has to be some progress on the matter. A number of unfinished developments have been lying stagnant for a long time, but the number is so small that it would not require that great an amount of money to ensure adequate facilities for residents, even to ensure that they could pass their home on to their child should anything happen. This is a 23-house development. Will you engage directly with me on the development to see whether we can find a solution that allows us to meet halfway in order to ensure that the residents can get on with their lives and live in safety in their own homes?
