Climate Change: Parts of Ngleshie Amanfro experiencing severe land erosion - MyJoyOnline

Residents say their communities are currently under the threat of  severe soil erosion and any failure to tackle it will result in possible devastating consequences.

The situation seems alarming as almost every waterway close to homes have developed dangerous holes making it difficult for residents to enter their homes when it is raining .

However, stronger and faster stream velocity aptly described by a resident  creates deep holes on their compounds spreading under their houses and sometimes collapse their fence walls.

In an interview with Myjoyonline, the Headmaster of the Oriens School Complex, Mr Maclean Mensah, said the situation has affected children’s education in the area.

“When it rains heavily, parents have no option but to keep their children at home to prevent them from foreseeable eventualities.”

He said his school is trying to spearhead a community environmental action plan with residents and landlords to see what they can do as a measure to bring the situation under control.

She said the situation has become too dangerous, hence the need for parents not to allow their children to move alone.
