Residents of Atimatim New Site in the Afigya Kwabre South Municipality have been assured that work on abandoned road projects in the area will soon resume.

The assurance was given by the Municipal Chief Executive, Patricia Pearl Ankrah, during a community clean-up exercise held in the area.

For years, residents have raised concerns over the poor state of some roads within the Atimatim New Site enclave, describing them as dusty during the dry season and muddy during the rains.

According to community members, the stalled road projects have affected transportation, increased vehicle maintenance costs, and exposed them to health challenges due to excessive dust.

Responding to these concerns, the MCE acknowledged the difficulties faced by residents and assured them that the Assembly is taking steps to ensure that the contractor returns to site to complete the work. She noted that efforts are underway to address the bottlenecks that led to the delay.

Madam Ankrah further emphasized that improving road infrastructure remains a key priority for the Assembly, as good roads are essential for economic activities, emergency services, and overall development within the municipality.

The assurance came during a clean-up exercise organized by the Afigya Kwabre South Municipal Assembly as part of the government’s nationwide sanitation campaign.

Residents, assembly members and officials took part in clearing gutters, removing refuse and desilting drains in the community.

The MCE used the opportunity to encourage residents to complement government efforts by maintaining cleanliness in their surroundings, stressing that sanitation and infrastructure development must go hand in hand to improve living conditions in the municipality.

Residents welcomed the promise of road rehabilitation and expressed hope that work would resume soon to ease their daily challenges.
