FREETOWN CITY COUNCIL MITIGATES FLOOD RISK
The Mayor’s new Freetown Flood Mitigation Plan is taking effective action with the city's 15 day programme of intensive cleaning midway to completion and as can be seen from the pics, already yielding results, clearing blockages to our city’s waterways - our gutters, culverts and Gillies - that contribute to flooding. Clearing these silted gutters will really help Freetowns waterways cope with the next torrential downpour and save communities from the worst excesses of rainy season.
