Urgent appeal for the rehabilitation of Adenta-Dodowa road
Dear Editor,
I write to draw the attention of the government to the alarming state of the Adenta-Dodowa road which has deteriorated over the past year.
The deplorable condition of this vital road has been a source of immense concern for the community, and it is imperative that this issue was addressed promptly.
Recently, the situation on this stretch of road has worsened significantly, with the emergence of large and hazardous potholes.
These potholes do not only make driving dangerous but also impede the flow of traffic, leading to significant delays.
Commuters using this road often find themselves spending up to an hour navigating these treacherous conditions.
It is worth noting that some concerned residents have taken it upon themselves to temporarily fill these potholes, but regrettably, these makeshift repairs are short-lived, and the road rapidly reverts to its deplorable state.
Nonetheless, despite the best intentions of concerned residents, their efforts to restore the road to its former condition have yielded no significant results.
In an attempt to avoid the perilous potholes and lessen the traffic congestion on this stretch, certain drivers have resorted to taking shortcuts in order to reach their destinations promptly.
However, it is unfortunate that these alternative routes often prove to be in worse condition than the main road.
This has led to incidents such as burst fuel tanks and vehicle damage, creating additional safety concerns for commuters.
In the light of these circumstances, we earnestly implore the government to intervene and undertake the much-needed rehabilitation of the Adenta-Dodowa stretch of the road.
The people of this community are looking forward to a timely resolution of this. We thank government in advance for your consideration of our concerns.

Dear Editor,
AS schools reopen after the holiday, pressure will start to mount on both parents, guardians and teachers.
As a parent, I wish to use this platform to appeal to the basic school authorities through the Ghana Education Service (GES) to reduce the prices of food served our children.
It is very clear and obvious to all that prices of foodstuff have reduced drastically and that was the reason people felt the last Christmas was the best in recent years.
From tomatoes, onions and other vegetables needed to make good meals for the children have seen a reduction in prices.
It will therefore be unfortunate if the school authorities are not humane enough to reduce the school feeding charges. That would amount to wickedness.
This is something the authorities must see to. It will no doubt ease the huge burden on the parents.
Parents were reasonable enough with two different increments when prices shot up. Now that prices seem to have dropped, the schools should do the needful.
That would create some goodwill between the teachers and the parents.

Dear Editor,
I write to wish you and your staff a Happy New Year and commend you for the good work you have done over the years.
It is my prayer that the good Lord bless you and make available the resources you need to do a better work in the New Year.
I wish to bring your attention to the return of traders to the pavements at the Kwame Nkrumah Circle area.
In the previous decongestion exercise before the holidays, I noticed the authorities intentionally allowed them some freedom to sell at certain areas with lines drawn to demarcate an area for them to do their business.
A visit to the area in the first week of the year revealed that these traders have gone beyond those demarcations and are selling on the spaces left for pedestrians.
The pedestrians are therefore left with narrow pathways to navigate, creating unnecessary congestion in the area and making it difficult for people to move around freely.
I wish to use this platform to inform the authorities about the development. They should send their officers to the market areas to check this for themselves and make sure they move back to the areas designated for them.
