Stop wasting public funds on demolition for poorly planned 24-hour markets – Minority to gov’t

The Minority in Parliament has called on the government to immediately halt the demolition of existing public and community infrastructure to make way for projects under the 24-hour economy market programme.“Our concern, however, is that the 24-hour economy market program as currently being implemented appears poorly conceived, poorly planned, and disconnected from the actual development needs of many communities.”The NPP caucus says the programme is being implemented without adequate consideration of local development needs, existing infrastructure and the economic realities of individual communities.
