Members of the Urban Renewal Council yesterday agreed that the government should designate new plots of land for the construction of temporary housing.
Members of the council yesterday also rejected the feasibility of allocating some public housing units to be used for temporary housing purposes.
A closed-door meeting of the council, chaired by Secretary for Transport and Public Works Raimundo do Rosario, was held yesterday at the Transport Bureau (DSAT). The government-appointed council is tasked with advising the government on its urban renewal policies.
