Canteen Assemblyman installs Led street lights, repairs dysfunctional one's
As part of effort to improve the security and poor lightening situation in some notable areas of the Canteen community at night, the Assemblyman for the Canteen Electoral Area in West Gonja Municipal, Ananpansah Bartholomew Abraham, has installed new Led street lamps across the electoral area.
Alongside the installation of the new LED Street Lights, the Assemblyman also successfully carried out repair works on a number of dysfunctional street lights in the area.
In all, ten(10) new LED streets were installed and about twelve (12) dysfunctional successfully repaired so far.
The exercise is being carried out across notable areas in the electoral area, including Agric Settlement, Brigade Line, St. Anne's Residential Area, Abakura area and Canteen township with the hope of expansion to cover the other communities.
The repair works the Assemblyman noted, is an ongoing process and the target at the end of the day is to fix not less than 30 dysfunctional street lights in the electoral area.
In brief remarks, the Assemblyman said the exercise was his own small way of augmenting the effort of the Municipal Assembly to improve the security situation in the area and provide solace to school going children who rely on the street lights for their night group studies.
It was his hope that an improved street lightening system will keep people safe to conduct their economic and social activities at night, curb reptiles attack and drastically reduce theft cases in the electoral area.
He said it took him more than six months to gather the resources and materials for the installation/repair exercise, pledging to maintain the momentum into the future.
The passionate Assemblyman used the opportunity to call on the Municipal Assembly to work on dysfunctional street lights along the principal streets of the Municipality in order to improve the security situation in the town and keep residents secured to go about their night activities.
Residents of the beneficiary communities thanked the Assemblyman for the kind gesture, urging him to keep up the good work he was doing for the Canteen Electoral Area at large.
