The project moved into its active phase following the delivery of all necessary materials to the Gomoa West District Assembly by the contracted firm. The initial stages of work are now visible, with excavation and the erection of poles underway in designated communities including Dekyira and Dewurampong.

The initiative, which aims to illuminate streets and improve night-time security, has been hailed by residents as a testament to proactive leadership. The MP’s commitment to the project was a central part of his development agenda for the constituency.

"True to his words, Hon. Richard Gyan-Mensah has initiated the installation of solar street lights across the district," said a representative from the constituency. "The delivery of materials and the start of physical work is a clear sign of committed and trustworthy leadership. This project will greatly benefit our communities after dark."

The shift to solar energy is expected to provide a sustainable and cost-effective lighting solution, reducing reliance on the national grid and ensuring consistent illumination. The project is anticipated to cover several other communities within the Gomoa West District as the installation progresses.

Residents in the initial communities have expressed optimism about the project's impact, citing improved safety for pedestrians and motorists, extended hours for social and economic activities, and a heightened sense of security.

The Gomoa West District Assembly is overseeing the ongoing installation. While a precise timeline for the project's completion has not been publicly released, the visible commencement of work signals a firm advance toward realizing the district-wide lighting plan.
