AMA urged to crack down on unauthorised billboards in Accra

Deal with them Mrs Sawyerr said one of the biggest challenges facing beautification and road safety in the capital was the presence of unauthorised billboards and signboards along major roads.

The Chairperson of the Parliamentary Committee on Local Government and Decentralisation, Queenstar Pokuah Sawyerr, has tasked the Accra Metropolitan Assembly (AMA) to take immediate steps to crack down on unauthorised billboards and signboards along major roads in the capital.

She argued that traders using tables were often the least of the assembly’s problems, stressing that the presence of containers and other unauthorised structures created an environment that encouraged more people to occupy the road medians.
