Illegal structures at Glefe go down
This is the scene of the demolition of some illegal structures along the Glefe lagoon near Dansoman in the Ablekuma West Municipal Assembly of the Greater Accra Region.
Hundreds of illegal structures were pulled down in an exercise which sought to protect the lagoon and also stop flooding in the area anytime it rains.
The Ablekuma West Municipal Chief Executive (MCE), Mr George Cyril Bray told the media that the exercise was among others to prevent people building near the lagoon.
The area had also been turned into a dumping site with its concomitant health hazards.
Meanwhile to forestall any encroachment in the area the debris according to the MCE, would be used as a boundary until a lasting solution was found to this canker.
