Alagie M’Bemba Barrow, a resident of Talinding asked the Mayor to assist them in stopping floods within their community during the rains.
Jarra Drammeh the Talinding Ward Community Chairperson told the Mayor that their market is still in the same condition; that taxes are collected every day but yet vendors at the market continue to suffer from lack of basic social amenities.
Sarjo Singhatey informed the Mayor that the Ebo Town/New Jeshwang garage is always filled with wild animals and rubbish which he said is a playground for their children.
“We want your Municipality to take ownership of the place and turn it to a skill’s center or a School for our children,” he said.
