FACELIFT FOR ASHAIMAN MARKET (BACK PAGE)

The Ashaiman Municipal Assembly (AMA) is to rehabilitate the main Ashaiman Market at an estimated cost of GH¢150,000 to give the market a facelift.
Present conditions at the market are very deplorable with bad layout, causing overcrowding.
Compounding the problem is the frequent flooding that renders the place muddy whenever it rains, a situation which affects the free flow of traffic.
The Municipal Chief Executive, Numo Adinortey Addison, told the Daily Graphic that the project would be funded from the assembly's share of the District Assemblies Common Fund and internally generated resources.
He stated that the assembly needed to improve on its infrastructure for it to befit its status as a municipality.
The chief executive was of the view that Ashaiman was expanding steadily, with a corresponding increase in population, and that such development and expansion called for a general appraisal of the municipality.
Numo Addison stated that the market would be expanded and more sheds provided for the traders.
He said the assembly would provide places of convenience, and electricity extended to the market as part of the arrangement to enhance security.
He appealed to the women to vacate the sheds to pave way for the project to be executed anytime it became necessary.
