The wall around the Gyandu Park in Sekondi has been pulled down following a publication in the Daily Graphic about the dangers it poses to schoolchildren and members of the general public.
Following the publication, which warned of a looming danger, officials of the Regional Sports Council moved in to save the situation to avert any calamity.
The officials described the park as one of the important places in the metropolis as various football teams in the region and other inter-school sports activities are held there.
They gave the assurance that the council would do everything possible to pull down any structure at the park which was found to be weak.
However, another dangerous area in the metropolis is the bridge at Bakano that links Nkontompo to Sekondi. Even though the attention of the metropolitan authorities has been drawn to the imminent danger, no action has been taken to avert any preventable accident.
According the Public Relations Officer of the Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitan Assembly in Sekondi, Mr John Laste, the contract for the repair of the bridge has been awarded and work will commence soon.
