The Head of the Urban Roads Department, Samuel Attoh, threw light on some projects implemented in late 2022 and the year 2023.
He mentioned Odorkor, Kwashiebu and Sakaman as areas having choked gutters, which had now been de-silted.
At Kwashiebu, he said the municipal assembly had started building culverts and gutters in other to improve their drainage system; though under completion, it had not yet been completed due to budget constraints.
