The residents of Bamboo #2 are ready to challenge an order by the Tunapuna Piarco Regional Corporation, which has given them seven days to demolish the controversial security guard booth in the area.
Construction of the controversial booth was completed during the week.
The booth, at the entrance to the Valsayn community, has been the subject of a battle between the corporation and the villagers regarding its legality.
However, community activist and businessman Inshan Ishmael told media on Friday that the residents will challenge the corporation.
The residents are expected to meet today at the booth to raise concerns.
Theis is the third notice of violation given to the villagers by the corporation.
They said the booth will be demolished in seven days, and the cost will be borne by those who constructed it.
The notice indicated that the violation was the unauthorised construction of a guard booth at the location and also highlighted concerns about the design, deeming it insufficient and unsafe.
These violations are cited under the Town and Country Planning Division Act 230 of 1960, Chapter 35:01, and the Municipal Corporation Act 21 of 1990, Chapter 25:04.
Ishmael and residents said the security booth was being implemented due to claims of extortion attempts, robberies and other crimes in the area.
