The Urban Development Corporation of Trinidad and Tobago (UDeCOTT) says it will no longer seek to use the land at President's Grounds to extend the Prime Minister's residence in St Ann's. Instead, it will now pursue other options.
In a press release yesterday, UDeCOTT stated that this decision was relayed to a group of representatives from the St Ann's, Cascade and Mt Hololo Community Group at a recent meeting.
UDeCOTT said some of the proposals they had made in trying to reach a resolution in the matter were flatly rejected by the group.
One such proposal was to increase the net area of land currently used for recreational and other uses from under 4.9 acres to 6.1 acres, using both the President's Ground and the Ministry of Community Development site to the north.
UDeCOTT said it also proposed the provision of a football and rugby field (reconfigured north to south), including bleachers for spectators.
