Ashalaja roads in terrible state

 Dear Editor

 I am writing to bring attention to the bad roads in Asha­laja and its surrounding areas.

It has become a concern for residents and commuters alike.

The state of our roads does not only affects daily travel but also poses significant safety risks and hampers local economic activities.

Over the past few months, the condition of the roads has worsened considerably.

Potholes have become a common sight, making navigation difficult and dangerous, especially during the rainy season when water collects in these potholes that are gradually becoming ‘manholes.’

This has led to numerous accidents, with both vehicles and pedestrians suffering the consequences.

Many drivers are forced to swerve dangerously to avoid these hazards, putting themselves and others at risk.

Moreover, the poor road conditions have a direct impact on local businesses.

Delivery trucks struggle to reach their destinations, leading to delays and increased transportation costs.

This does not only affect the profitability of local enterprises but also limits the availability of goods and services for residents.

The economic effect is felt by all, particularly in a community that relies heavily on small businesses for its livelihood.

I urge the authorities to prioritise the repair of these roads to improve living conditions of people in Ashalaja and its environs.

Benedicta Gyimaah Folley,

Ashalaja
