Tema West's municipal chief executive, Anna Adukwei Addo, said that her community is gaining from the government's Year of Roads initiative.
She added that although the municipality was seeing a considerable improvement in its road system, there was still much that needed to be done to provide relief for the locals.
The projects that have been completed thus far include the asphalt overlay of 3.5 km of road at Community Three Sites A and B, the asphalt overlay of 5 km of roads at the former Adom FM area in Community 2, the asphalt overlay of 5.3 km of road at the Community Five SSNIT flats area, the asphalt overlay of 5.5 km of road at HFC Estates in Community 18, and the asphalt overlay of 10.25 km of road.
Ms. Addo said the projects were a part of the numerous asphalt works being carried out in the Greater Accra Region, of which the municipal assembly had so far benefited from about 50.0 km of the entire packaged allocation, in her remarks at the first ordinary general meeting of the fourth session of the second assembly.
She stated that, in addition to the projects, additional road restoration and improvement projects in the municipality were 40% complete. These include renovating the roads around Adonai and the Kenebi Hotel, as well as the Emef to Sakumono connection road and the roads leading from the Pleasant Place Church neighborhood to Kotobabi.
"Building and maintaining roads is one important sector that demands a lot of effort and money." The Assembly is in contact with the Department of Urban Roads to enhance funding for road infrastructure for 2023, according to the spokeswoman.

Regarding health, the MCE stated that the Tema West Assembly had designated a portion of the TEXPO market grounds for the construction of the proposed structure as part of the government's Agenda 111 program to develop hospitals inside districts and regional capitals.
"The Assembly would be demolishing the unapproved structures within the Assembly's 8.6-acre land at the TEXPO market in its efforts to ensure the project is realized." She said that the assembly's security council, working with Tema West Municipality partners, had persuaded occupants of the encroached land to leave.
In order to educate food sellers on matters of food safety, Ms. Addo said the assembly had also introduced routine inspections of eateries in the town.
She claimed that the visit was a part of the assembly's ongoing efforts to increase supervision of food vendors' operations in the municipality and implement the assembly's byelaws regarding food safety and cleanliness. "Those who disobeyed will be called, accused, and punished," she warned.
The completion of a three-unit classroom block at Star Primary School, Tema Community Five, and the completion of a fence wall at Tema Polyclinic are just a few of the projects the Assembly has designated to improve infrastructural development, according to the MCE for Tema West.
