The community, with population of 600, is also said to have no health facility, a situation that has led to the deaths of many who have to travel long distances in their quest for quality health delivery.

Speaking in an interview with Ghanadistricts.com, some residents of the community lamented about bad nature of the road and further gave an account of their annual farm losses due to the challenges they go through when transporting their harvested farm produce to nearby markets.

“We are facing many challenges with regards to the transportation of our foodstuffs to market centers for sale. We have to carry our foodstuffs on our heads before it can go to the market” one farmer in the area noted.

He therefore called on the government to redirect its attention and repair their roads and provide the community with a healthcare center to help save lives and properties.

“We are appealing to the government to rehabilitate our roads to make them more accessible to prevent our farm produce from perishing”, he added.
