La Nkwantanang-Madina Assembly to relocate traders ahead of 24-hour market project

The La Nkwantanang-Madina Municipal Assembly has initiated discussions with traders whose shops are slated for demolition to pave the way for a 24-hour market. Engineer Mohammed Danjumah Ahmed, the Municipal Engineer and Head of the Works Department, disclosed that the Assembly held meetings with the impacted traders prior to the anticipated demolition.

He elaborated that engineering evaluations revealed the current shop constructions did not meet the requisite standards, necessitating their removal for the redevelopment project. The envisioned 24-hour market aims to offer a more appropriate trading atmosphere and spur commercial endeavors in the municipality. Additionally, Akwesi Afriyia, the Head of Physical Planning at the Assembly, has reassured the traders that provisions have been made for their relocation to a market situated adjacent to their current location.

He stated that this relocation would enable the affected traders to maintain their operations while the construction work unfolds. The Assembly asserts that these engagements and relocation arrangements are designed to mitigate any disruptions to the traders' livelihoods as the preparations for the market project progress.
