THE construction of new landing beaches and cold store complexes in some fishing communities in the Western Region are likely to suffer setbacks, according to officials at the Western Regional Co-ordinating Council.
The projects are two fish landing beaches to be located at Axim and Dixcove and three cold store complexes at Shama, New Takoradi and Half Assini, for which the former Minister of Fisheries, Mrs Gladys Asmah, cut the sod last November.
The facilities are intended to boost fishing activities in the beneficiary communities, but after the sod-cutting ceremony for the start of the projects, nothing has been done at the project sites.
Investigations by the Daily Graphic indicate that the execution of the projects will delay with the change in administration, since a new Minister of Fisheries is yet to be appointed.
Moreover, the projects are likely to be reviewed.
A source close to the projects who pleaded anonymity, said the designs on some of the projects had been completed.
According to the source, officials of the ministry would meet later this month when the plans for the projects would be discussed.
