Flood prevention measures: GARCC enforces 50-metre waterway buffer rule
[]
Ghanaian Times
The Greater Accra Regional Coordinating Council (GARCC) has announced measures to enforce the mandatory 50-metre buffer zone along major water bodies in the capital, with all illegal structures within the areas set to be demolished.
The exercise will begin in the Ayawaso Central Municipal, La Dade-Kotopon Municipal and the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA), under the supervision of the GARCC.
Ms Ocloo announced the measures during an inspection tour of Gallaway, Agbogbloshie, the Korle Lagoon, Ayawaso Central and La Dade-Kotopon on Tuesday.
Mr Collingwoode-Williams, however, identified a damaged bridge near Paper House and abandoned vehicles blocking waterway buffers as major challenges requiring immediate attention.
He said work was ongoing along the Kordjor Stream to improve the flow of storm water into the Kpeshie Lagoon.
