Mr Issac Kodobisah, the Ho Municipal Chief Executive, has said a new district carved out of the municipal area, as proposed, would leave Ho more handy to manage in all areas of development.
He said its current geographical confines made the municipality unwieldy and therefore difficult to garner the resources to prosecute development to be felt by all.
Mr Kodobisah was addressing an Assembly Session called to deliberate and approve new licensing fees and rates for 2011 and other unfinished businesses before end of term.
He said 12 road projects were going on in Ho to begin the municipal area's new look to befit its urban status.
Mr Kodobisah said some important link roads including Ho-Nyive-Shia-Kpedze and Abutia-Juapong were being resurfaced while sod would soon be cut for the extension of the Sogakope-Adidome-Vane road to Fume.
The Assembly would for the first time charge rates for outdoor obituary notices on billboards, permit fees for operation of commercial vehicles and other businesses.
The Assembly also approved special development levies to be collected by some communities for projects including school blocks, quarters for nurses and community centres, among others.
Mr Dickson Agbenyah, Assistant Municipal Budget Analyst said the rates and fees had not changed for many areas and that the Assembly must devise means to raise compliance.
