Two days ago we told you about the land dispute in Lake Independence between Cordel Hyde's PUP Committee and Mark King;s UDP Committee. The dispute
centres over a parcel of land behind the CB Hyde Complex building. When Hyde was in office – his Lake I Action Committee erected a concrete structure
on the property. It burnt down before the 2008 election, and in October of 2014, King's GOB for UDP Lake Independence Committee got a title for the
land. Only problem is, Hyde said he already had a title going back to 2007 – except he couldn't find it, while King had his handy. Well, Hyde today got
a copy of the title and showed it to us. Indeed, it goes back to 2007 and seems to defeat King's one from 7 years later. Now, how two titles appeared
for one piece of land is a question that stumps us – and the answer is probably buried deep in the bowels of the Department of Lands. Today, King
publicly yielded to the 2007 title, saying in a release, quote,
"The UDP Lake I committee strongly urges the former PUP Area Rep Hyde to give back the land to its legitimate community." It adds, quote, "As to the
burnt damaged building that remains a sickening sore to the community and has been taken hostage by Hyde. The Hon. Mark King will proceed with the
building of the training and Resource Centre around the structure to ensure that Lake I single parents, students and families continue to get a fair
share of Government services to the community." End quote.
