Freetown City Council to Relocate Bomeh Dumping Site
Jane Emily Williams Her Worship the Mayor of Freetown City Council Yvonne Aki-Sawyerr has disclosed the council’s plan to relocate the Bomeh Dumping Site at Kissy to Hastings.
Aki-Sawyerr made this disclosure while on a visit with some councilors, the FCC Valuation Officer, and some staff from the Valuation Department to the Managing Director of Bollore, Bertrand Kerguelen.
The purpose of the visit was to get a better understanding of the port activities and challenges it facing due to the wastewater flowing from the dumping site.
Bomeh is located in the Eastern Part of Freetown along Bai Bureh Road the highway used to enter and exit the capital.
