Jamaica mayor alleges illegal shop construction on Coopers Pen land to exploit grants

Falmouth Mayor Collen Gager claims individuals are being encouraged to illegally erect shops on private land in Coopers Pen, Trelawny, following August demolitions, allegedly to exploit government grants. The claim is unverified and based on the mayor's statement, with no corroborating evidence yet. This matters as it signals potential land-use fraud and could prompt enforcement actions.
