Ministry of Sustainable Development advances land regularisation and strengthens land use coordination
The Ministry of Sustainable Development in Saint Kitts and Nevis is making significant strides in land regularization, aiming to empower citizens through land ownership while enhancing zoning guidelines. During the October 31, 2025, National Assembly session, Minister of Sustainable Development, Dr. Joyelle Clarke, emphasized the importance of balancing agricultural and residential land use. She highlighted that all lands in the nation have been categorized into zones such as protected areas, residential development, commercial activity, industrial activity, and green spaces, as outlined in the National Physical Development Plan 2024. However, recent conflicts have arisen between farmers occupying lands designated for housing and homeowners seeking to build on agricultural lands. To address this, the Ministry of Sustainable Development and the Ministry of Agriculture will establish a joint technical working group focused on land coordination and conflict resolution. This initiative will improve inter-ministerial collaboration, monitor land use, and conduct a comprehensive national review to identify and resolve conflicts. Public consultations with farmers, residents, developers, and community representatives will ensure transparency and inclusivity. Where relocation is necessary, affected individuals will receive fair compensation, including alternative land allocations, financial support, and reconstruction assistance. This effort is part of the Sustainable Settlements Portfolio, with officials currently engaging farmers in areas like Borryeaux, Cabbage Tree, Cayon, and Racecourse in Newton Ground to facilitate the transition from lands earmarked for housing.

Julian Rogers on free movement: ‘It’s taken us 70 years, let’s not waste it’
Julian Rogers, a Barbadian-born broadcaster and regional commentator now residing in Belize, has lived and worked across the Caribbean, making him uniquely qualified to speak on Caribbean integration. His life has been shaped by the same movement that CARICOM is now formalizing through its Free Movement initiative, which he describes as “music to my ears.” The initiative, which allows citizens of member states to live and work freely across borders, was fully implemented on October 1 by Belize, Dominica, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Barbados. Rogers refers to these nations as “the quartet in this choir of the Caribbean,” emphasizing their role in promoting regional unity. For Rogers, the initiative is deeply personal. “When I arrive at the airport in Belize, I’m stamped as a free movement person, entitled to all the benefits of a citizen,” he said. “No hassle. We are all one family.” Despite the clear benefits, 11 of the 15 CARICOM countries have hesitated to fully adopt the initiative. Rogers attributes this to bureaucratic hurdles rather than genuine risks. “We’ve implemented many measures administratively. You agree today, you act tomorrow, and Parliament follows,” he explained. Concerns about potential migrant influxes, particularly in Barbados, have proven unfounded. “In the first week, there were ten people,” Rogers noted. “People don’t just move without jobs, schools, or a way to sustain themselves.” For Rogers, the value of free movement extends beyond trade and policy—it’s about opportunity, especially for the region’s youth. “I moved out of Barbados at 20 and haven’t regretted it. This is an opportunity for young people to explore the Caribbean,” he said. He also highlighted the complementary economies of CARICOM nations, such as Belize’s agriculture and Barbados’ tourism, fostering a cycle of trade and innovation. While challenges remain, Rogers is optimistic. “I’ve seen it work. Immigration officers in Jamaica say, ‘Welcome home.’ CARICOM has conducted exercises to make this seamless,” he said. Despite recent diplomatic tensions, Rogers views free movement as a reminder of the importance of regional solidarity. “We are one Caribbean. Everyone outside the region sees us as one,” he concluded, urging collective effort to realize the dream of a borderless Caribbean.

UK Coordinates Hurricane Relief Shipment for Jamaica from Antigua
In the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa’s catastrophic impact on Jamaica, a UK support team stationed in Antigua and Barbuda has taken swift action to coordinate the delivery of emergency supplies to the devastated island nation. Spearheaded by Resident British Commissioner John Hamilton, the team has collaborated with the Antigua and Barbuda Port Authority to transport essential relief goods from Deep Water Harbour to V.C. Bird International Airport, where they will be airlifted to Kingston. This initiative is part of the UK’s broader regional response to aid both British nationals and Jamaica’s recovery efforts. Hamilton emphasized the UK’s unwavering commitment to the Caribbean during crises, stating, ‘The scale of damage in Jamaica is heartbreaking. We’re ensuring vital supplies — water, food, medical kits, and temporary shelters — reach those most in need.’ Hurricane Melissa, a Category 5 storm, unleashed winds exceeding 190 miles per hour when it struck Jamaica on Tuesday, resulting in widespread flooding, destruction, and significant loss of life. The parishes of St. Elizabeth, Manchester, and Clarendon bore the brunt of the devastation, with at least three fatalities reported and numerous injuries and displacements. Jamaican authorities have designated several areas as disaster zones as recovery operations persist. The Jamaica Defence Force, alongside volunteers and international partners such as CARICOM, the UK, and USAID, are actively supporting relief efforts. Hamilton reaffirmed the UK’s dedication, pledging continued assistance ‘for as long as necessary’ to facilitate regional recovery.
