The Sekondi-Takoradi Metropolitian Assembly (STMA) has called on the Sekondi-Takoradi branches of the Progressive Transport Owners Association of Ghana (PROTOA) and the Ghana Private Road Transport Union (GPRTU) to exercise restraint while it allocates a permanent lorry station for them to operate.
Mr Opoku Boateng, Public Affairs Manager of the STMA, told the GNA on Thursday that a permanent lorry station is under construction at Kojokrom to
accommodate all vehicles and appealed to all drivers not to do anything that would disturb the relative peace in the metropolis.
The Sekondi-Takoradi drivers of the PROTOA had alleged that the GPRTU drivers were preventing them from operating at any parking lot in the city.
Alhaji Suleman A. Tijani, the Regional Vice Chairman of PROTOA, had told a press conference that some GPRTU drivers assaulted some of their members and vandalised their properties but failed to compensate them.
He appealed to STMA to bring the GPRTU drivers to order.
Mr Opoku Boateng said limited parking space in the metropolis had resulted in the indiscriminate parking of vehicles and that this would come
to an end soon.
