Second-hand clothing sellers at the Wa Central Business District have backed the Wa Municipal Assembly’s decision to relocate traders operating at the entrance of the Central Business District and other unauthorised points to their original designated trading areas.
The sellers said the decongestion exercise would help restore order and improve the organisation of commercial activities within the Central Business District.
According to them, traders operating from unauthorised locations create congestion and make it difficult for the Assembly to effectively monitor trading activities and collect the appropriate taxes.
They therefore called on traders occupying the entrances, walkways and other unapproved areas to comply with the Assembly’s directive and return to the spaces originally allocated to them.
“Leave the entrance of the Wa central business district and return to the designated area for used clothing sellers,” used clothing sellers said.
“Those that have places to sit at the designated area for second-hand clothing, most of have vacated the place and are now selling at the entrance of the central business district,” they added.
The second-hand clothing sellers said proper demarcation of trading areas would make it easier for the Assembly to identify traders, regulate their activities and collect the appropriate taxes from them.
They further maintained that the decongestion exercise, if properly implemented and sustained, would contribute to improved sanitation, free movement and a more organised Central Business District.
The sellers urged the Assembly to continue engaging affected traders throughout the exercise to ensure that the relocation process is carried out in an orderly manner while providing designated spaces for legitimate trading activities.
