Over 110 unauthorized
structure demolished in Winneba
Winneba, Nov. 2, Ghanadot/GNA - Personnel from the Winneba
police and the Prison Service have destroyed over 100
signboards, bills boards and other structures erected at
road junctions.
The Winneba District Police Commander, Assistant
superintendent of Police Jordan Quaye, told the GNA that the
structures were obstructing the views of motorists and
pedestrians.
"These advertisement boards belonging to hairdressers,
fitters, seamstress, companies, institutions and individuals
obstruct the views of motorists and pedestrians, especially
school children and children on errand."
He said the structures obstructed motorists attempting to
join the main road from minor roads and this might have
contributed to major accidents.
Mr Quaye said the exercise was part of efforts by the police
to reduce accidents in the town and appealed the people to
cooperate with them to ensure its success.
He said the exercise would be extended to Senya Beraku,
Gomoa Dominase, Gomoa Fetteh and areas on the Accra/Cape
Coast road within the Winneba Police District Command.
Mr Quaye appealed to owners of structures who wish to
re-erect them to contact the Public Works Department (PWD),
Highway Authority and the district assembly for direction
and documentation.
He said hawkers at Winneba Junction who have been chasing
vehicles with their items should stop and use the place
given them.
