Assembly asked to relocate some lorry
stations in Mankessim
Mankessim (C/R) Nov. 22, Ghanadot/GNA - Participants at a
meeting to find solution to the congestion of the Mankessim
central business district have urged the Mfantseman District
Assembly to relocate some of the lorry stations from the
main station to other parts of the Township.
The participants made up of executives of drivers unions;
traders associations leaders; security officers; Assembly
Members and some opinion leaders in Mankessim were of the
opinion that if this was done, it would decongest the area.
The meeting was organised by the Mankessim branch of the
World Federation of United Nations Association (WFUNA) to
find solution to the congestion in the area.
According to WFUNA, the congestion in that area not only
affected economic activities but also created problems for
traders, travellers and revenue mobilization by the
Assembly.
The meeting mandated WFUNA to meet the GPRTU branch and
Co-operative Drivers Union and the District Assembly on how
best to decongest the area to facilitate business.
Bishop Peter Sackey, an executive member of WFUNA, expressed
the hope that participants would study the points raised and
bring suggestions that would help to find solution to the
problem.
He appealed to the drivers unions in the town to cooperate
with the authorities and agencies involved in the
decongestion programme.
