Some residents at New site have registered their displeasure about the way buildings are set up within their vicinity.
They dreaded there could be future complications as it appears the buildings are erected at inappropriate sites of the community.
They explained that the buildings are clustered virtually everywhere leaving not enough space for the inhabitants and vehicles.
They added that if the people are allowed to raise such buildings, it could pose a threat to their livelihood and health.
A resident revealed that due to the overcrowding nature of the area, they are normally struck by malaria as a result of the invasion by mosquitoes.
Paul Annan, a student of the Takoradi Polytechnic and a resident, opposed the idea that the putting up of a building at a swampy area could survive the test of time.
He was of the view that the building at the site, near a swamp, which is purported to be established by a certain woman, whose name is unknown, could harm its prospective dwellers.
The inhabitants further noted that if a house is gutted by fire, the inadequate accessibility to it due to the lack of roads in-between the houses could complicate the operation of the Fire Service.
Mr. Emmanuel Opintan-Baah, a Lecturer at the Building Technology and Civil Engineering Department, Takoradi Polytechnic, recounted that there could be nothing amiss with the landscape, provided the plan is rightly carried out by the appropriate Authorities.
