Road reserve infront house: Government land?

[crazychinee]

I Was doing some home renovations, and had some debris on my frontlawn for a few days .

A litter warden saw it fit to inform me that that's government property, and that I can be CHARGED for littering.

Not sure of law, can I tell him to HYMC?

I always thought the reserve distance still meant it was my land, just a town and country code.

Well since we on the topic, the people across the road by me has paved straight up to the roadside, put up a wall and a gate.
When they have guests over they leave their driveway and garage empty and have them park opposite our gateway on the narrow road. It's hell to drive the vans outs here.

You can pave up to the road I believe. Just if it's needed for making a drain or something the gov't can dig it up no probs and owe you nothing.
From what I understand you cannot put any structure on the reserve, nor restrict access to it. If you choose to store your stuff in the reserve they can move it at their will and in the case of litter you can be charged.
The only time they're really useful is for gaining extra distance to the neighbor on the other side of it rather than sharing a wall.
Hope whoever sold you the house/land didn't charge you for the price of the reserve too!

So everybody with Tree's on the reserve could get charged?
So..everybody with a litterbox/can infront of their home with garbage...can be charged?

Good thing I eint throw some dogshit at the litterwarden then yes.

[nemesis]

No. Not directly in front of all homes is considered reserve. There's building limits and then there's the reserve. Two separate things. If you tried to put your garbage bins in the middle of the road in front your house then yes you can be charged.
Tree's don't obstruct access to the area so unless the area it actually going to be used for building a road or drainage it won't really be a problem and hence is normally overlooked.
Many people put small plants, or do something with the reserve area near their home simply for looks.
In your case I do think the warden was being stupid though. If you were doing renovations I'm sure he could see that it is not a common occurrence nor did you pose any serious problem for the govt if the land was needed.
But I really eh sure nah, so go pelt tings at him when he come around again. No scene.

Interesting. It's ok to Pave part of the road access to enter your home; put up all kinda shiet (like how some people put up guard booths?), but no temporary garbage.

Good info to know; I throwing a whole set of my dog sheit there now for him next time....and say it's not my dog.

[eliteauto]

overload yes

I live in a tree that grows on the road reserve.......can the government evict me?
I've been living in this tree for the last seven years, and have made many improvements, including pruning, and a makeshift back porch. Now I'm really worried

typical trini mentality alway feel the government of the day owe you something

[MG Man]

look here, I livin in this tree long time now and I does real make the place look nice.........if I wasn't living in this tree, CEPEP would have had to hire a gang to keep it looking nice. According to my research, the ratio of tree to CEPEP worker is 1:7 as follows:
1 whacker engineer
2 whacker debris blocking sheet holders
1 road sweeper
2 random persons doing nothing in particular
