The District Chief Executive (DCE) for Awutu-Senya, Mr Nuhu Adams, says the deadline for traders operating at the Kasoa old market to move to the new one ends Friday, December 18, 2009.

He made this known  in an interview at Kasoa.

Mr Adams noted that the Assembly would take legal action against traders who would be found operating in the old market after tomorrow, adding that the Assembly Urban guards would take over the place.

Mr Adams said the assembly has rehabilitated the new market stalls and also made new structures for those who were left out in the allocation of the stalls.

According to the DCE, the old market site would be used as a lorry station to ensure sanity in the transport operations.

Mr Adams said when the traders left the new market to the old market they stopped paying tolls, resulting in the assembly losing millions of Ghana Cedis.

The construction of the new market was to ease congestion at the old market, which sometimes create traffic congestion as well as rampant knocking down of pedestrians by vehicles at Kasoa.
