This, he said, has become necessary due to the nuisance the menace is causing residents in the communities.

Mr.Boye Laryea, told Ghanadistricts.com, that the unlawful activities have persisted for long stressing that the time for the Assembly to act is now.

Citing the worrying surge in the erection of unauthorized Billboards, Sign-Boards, abandoned vehicles on streets and on the shoulders of the road, he indicated that the Assembly is coming hard at the offenders.

He noted that a previous warning to defaulters to desist from the acts has all not been heeded.

“It’s time for the Assembly to bite, and we will bite hard…” he warned.

Mr. Laryea Added: “It is for this reason that the Assembly in exercise of its powers will give all defaulters in the case of unauthorized bill boards a Twenty-one-day (21) ultimatum to remove all unsanctioned bill boards situated in any part of the Municipality and all abandoned cars a 14-day moratorium to remove them.”

The MCE, however, urged Assembly Members and Heads of Department, “to work hand in hand to help improve upon their service delivery and fulfill duty-bound obligations to the public.”
