In a proactive move to eliminate hawkers and address environmental concerns within the La Dade-Kotopon Municipality, the Honorable Municipal Chief Executive, along with key officers of the Assembly, recently took significant steps. The focus of their efforts was on engaging with cane weavers in the cantonment area, particularly those located around the official residence of the Canadian High Commission. This initiative aimed not only to tackle the issue of street vendors and ‘street boys’ but also to respond to the concerns raised by both local residents and the Canadian High Commission.

Recognizing the importance of maintaining a clean and orderly environment, the Municipal Chief Executive led a delegation to actively engage with the cane weavers. The objective was twofold: to address the immediate challenges posed by street activities and to foster a collaborative approach to ensure a sound and clean municipality.

The decision to target the cantonment area, notably near the Canadian High Commission’s official residence, was strategic. This location has been a focal point of concerns raised by residents and the High Commission alike. By addressing these concerns, the Assembly aims to enhance the overall quality of life for both the local community and diplomatic entities.

During the engagement, the Assembly officials listened to the concerns of the cane weavers and discussed potential solutions. This inclusive approach ensures that the voices of all stakeholders are heard, contributing to a more effective and sustainable resolution.

The efforts of the La Dade-Kotopon Municipal Assembly reflect a commitment to creating a harmonious and clean environment. By actively engaging with specific communities, such as the cane weavers in cantonments, the Assembly is taking proactive steps to address immediate challenges while fostering long-term solutions for a vibrant and thriving municipality.
