The road, which was previously in a deplorable condition, posed serious challenges to farmers, traders and commuters, particularly those seeking emergency medical attention. Cocoa farmers struggled to transport their produce to market centres, while traders and other residents relied heavily on commercial motorbikes, popularly known as Okada, to access neighbouring communities.
Residents say the rehabilitation has significantly improved mobility, making it easier for vehicles to access the community and transport people and goods.
They have commended the District Chief Executive (DCE), Mr Isaac Yawson, the Member of Parliament for the area and the Central Regional representative on the Council of State for their respective roles in securing the intervention.
The residents also acknowledged the DCE for fulfilling his commitment to deploy equipment under the District Road Improvement Programme (DRIP) to undertake the project.
However, they have appealed to the authorities to extend similar attention to the community’s school, which they say is in a deplorable condition.
According to them, pupils are compelled to attend classes without adequate desks and chairs, while the damaged roofing exposes them to rain and other unfavourable weather conditions.
They expressed concern that the situation could negatively affect effective teaching and learning if urgent measures were not taken to address the challenges.
The residents are therefore appealing to the DCE, the MP, the Council of State representative and other stakeholders to rehabilitate the school, repair its roof and provide adequate furniture to improve the learning environment.
