Philo Wants To Solve Port’s Land Problems
posted (October 1, 2019)
Phillip Willoughby is the UDP Standard Bearer for Port Loyola. In January, he invited residents of the Port to come to him if they need to get their land papers straightened out.

Now, if you know anything about bureaucracy in Belize, you'll know that getting land documents is even worse than trying to get a new birth certificate. Well, Willoughby has the solution, at least for his constituents.

In an impromptu press conference earlier today he announced that the Ministry of Natural resources will be present at Port Loyola's YWCA on the 17th and 18th of October to address constituents concern about land issues.

"On the 17th and 18th of October this month which is a Thursday and a Friday the Ministry of Natural Resources will be here on the Y.W.C.A compound bringing the services from the Ministry of natural resources to all those residents of the Port Loyola constituency. So if you have a, land situation, a land concern, a land issue, a land problem, the ministry will be present here with the commissioner and its staff along. I believe the Minister may drop in; the C.E.O. should be here also to address those issues of concern to the constituency."

"Those who are gainfully employed working otherwise need to request time off from their employer. If your an entrepreneur and your on your daily hustle. If your a single parent or a parent and you have duties you have to do, this exercise here this afternoon will allow you to make accommodation or to ask your employer for time off so you can be here to look after your land issues or your land concern, whatever those may be or those are."

"Come over to the YWCA beginning at 9:00 Thursday and Friday morning the 17th , the 18th and let's address those issues."

"I know that people do have maybe water connection issues, maybe light issues, other concerns that we have taken stock of and note of within the constituency. The residents can also share that information with us as I know that some residents have made mention that connectivity is an issue for them and that is purely because of the land situation."

The Minister of Natural resources and the C.E.O are expected to be there for Willoughby's Port Loyola initiative.
