The Ayawaso West Municipal Assembly has announced a two-month ultimatum for property owners with unapproved developments to regularise their building permits.
According to a statement issued by the Assembly, and signed by the Public Relations Officer, Jacob Shamatey, on behalf on the Municipal Chief Executive the move comes in response to the proliferation of structures across the Municipality that have been constructed without authorisation or on the strength of questionable permits allegedly issued by other Assemblies.
The statement indicated that some of the developments under scrutiny include large buildings sited dangerously close to major roads and stressed that it was established by law in 2018 and, as such, all valid permits must bear its official endorsement.
To address the situation, the Assembly disclosed that it had begun an extensive inventory of unpermitted buildings in key areas such as Shiashie, Airport Residential Area, Roman Ridge, Dzorwulu, East Legon, West Legon, and other parts of the Municipality.
