for lack of toilet facilities… City Council Shuts down Shops By Ibrahim Joenal Sesay The Freetown City Council has for the first time in history taken a very proactive move in carrying out their mandate by closing buildings that do not have toilet facilities. “This building exists without toilet facility contrary to the law of Freetown City Council. The environmental authority declares it closed until further notice. By order.” This was the notice placed on the doors of various shops at Kroo Town Road. This move taken by Council took has been welcomed from all sectors of society. This according to Sierra Leoneans in the municipality of Freetown is what they have been yearning. According to some staff of Freetown City Council they have been doing some survey in the municipality to assess the health of the environment. According to them Freetown should be seen as a healthy city at all times and that they are going to ensure that they enforce the bye laws now that they have secured court No. 4. Freetown of recent times has grown in a filthy way, due to lack of enforcement of the city bye laws. An investigation conducted disclosed that a good number of houses in central Freetown lack toilet facilities. They called on Council not to leave any stone unturned to ensure that they continue to enforce the laws governing the city. They pointed out that through that they will breathe fresh air. The area City Council targeted are in the central business district including Kroo Town road where many a good number of shops have been closed.
