On Friday, Febuary 4, 2023, LaDMA (La Dadekotopon Municipal Assembly) organized an Operation Clean Your Frontage exercise in the central business area of La, Accra.
The exercise was aimed at clearing structures within the pedestrian walkways to ensure free movement for both pedestrians and vehicles.
The exercise involved the removal of unauthorized structures and materials that encroached on the pedestrian walkways. These included tables, chairs, and signboards belonging to businesses located in the area. The structures had made it difficult for pedestrians to walk along the pavements, leading to congestion and accidents.
The LaDMA team, comprising of officials from the Environmental Health Department, the Town and Country Planning Department, and the Assembly Members, were on hand to supervise the exercise. They worked tirelessly to ensure that all the unauthorized structures and materials were cleared from the walkways, and the pavements were restored to their original state.
During the exercise, the team sensitized the business owners and residents in the area on the importance of keeping their frontages clean and free from encroachments. They urged them to maintain the cleanliness and avoid dumping refuse in unauthorized places.
The exercise was welcomed by the residents and business owners in the area, who expressed their appreciation to the LaDMA for the initiative. They pledged their support to keep the area clean and free from encroachments in the future.
In conclusion, the Operation Clean Your Frontage exercise carried out by the LaDMA in the central business area of La, Accra, was a great success. It has helped to restore order and sanity to the pedestrian walkways and has made it easier for people to move around the area. The LaDMA deserves commendation for their efforts, and we urge them to continue with such initiatives to make our cities clean and safe for all.
