Housing plans for Georgetown Glanvillia still on the cards says Portsmouth MP Ian Douglas

​Parliamentary representative for the Portsmouth constituency Ian Douglas says the housing plans for the people of Georgetown Glanvillia, better known as the Phoenix development are still on the cards.
 
He says the initial plan was to provide lots for residents in that area but because of the large number of applications received, and the limited number of lots available at Georgetown, government has revisited the plans and will now construct several apartment type buildings which will accommodate at least 300 persons, similar to the complexes at Bath Estate & Elmshall.
 
Douglas says the same company that pursued the Bellevue Chopin housing scheme will construct apartment type buildings in Portsmouth.

​Douglas says efforts are also being made to construct buildings to house government offices to save time and cost for residents travelling to Roseau to get some simple documents that they would have otherwise obtained in the northern town.

​Douglas says the buildings will also house an office for the PM, an office for the parliamentary representative and one for the mayor.
