The Public Relations and Complaints Committee has been hard at work in addressing concerns raised by residents of Agyemang and Madam Linda Stepper. The committee, together with some technocrats, embarked on a trip to the locations to assess the situation and make recommendations.
During the visit to Madam Linda Stepper’s residence, it was discovered that her neighbor had wrongfully joined a wall to hers, blocking a drain and causing flooding in her house. At Hyde Out Pub, the team found that the noise levels from the operations of the pub were causing a nuisance in the neighborhood. Smoke from shisha and cigarettes made it difficult for residents to breathe clean air, while pieces of cigarette were left on the ground and children in the area picked them up to emulate the smoking habit.
The pub owner also constructed a minor drain, which was stagnant and bred mosquitoes. In addition, customers indiscriminately parked on the street of the neighborhood. The team observed that a portion of the pub was constructed on a minor drain, which extended to the walkway of the owner’s neighbors, and that portion was uncovered and stagnant.
The trip to the two locations was successful, and the Committee has scheduled another field trip to assess the neighbor’s wall joining Madam Linda Stepper’s. Mr. Evans Todzro, an Environmental Health Department Officer, has been tasked to conduct a thorough investigation on the activities of the Hyde Out Pub and submit a report to the Committee.
The Public Relations and Complaints Committee is committed to addressing the concerns of residents in the municipality and ensuring that their complaints are heard and acted upon. It is important to note that participation from the public is crucial in ensuring that issues are identified and resolved in a timely manner.
