CLAREMONT, St. Ann:
DESPITE REGISTRATION under the PATH programme, residents in certain sections of South West St. Ann are still not receiving benefits under the programme.
This information was gleaned from the monthly meeting of the St. Ann Parish Council on July 10.
Councillor Derrick Frater of the Alexandria division revealed that there were people whose names were taken off the food stamp programme and put forward for PATH but, "after six months, they are getting nothing."
He named Aboukir, Fullerton Park, Murray Mountain and Grants Mountain as areas in which people were affected.
Mayor of St. Ann's Bay, Councillor Delroy Giscombe, asked that the process be expedited and widened as "six months is a long time."
