La Traditional Council secures suspension of SSNIT’s La Pleasure Beach redevelopment plans

The La Traditional Council says plans by the Social Security and National Insurance Trust (SSNIT) to redevelop the demolished La Pleasure Beach Resort have been suspended pending further consultations among key stakeholders.

La Council demands protection for indigenes Beyond the dispute over the demolition and redevelopment plans, the La Traditional Council is also insisting that the interests of the La community be taken into consideration in any future agreement concerning the site.

The suspension means SSNIT's proposed redevelopment of the former La Pleasure Beach site will not proceed immediately, as a committee is expected to examine the concerns raised by the Traditional Council and review the Trust's plans for the property.
