Densu Delta Protected Area — Attraction in Greater Accra Region

The Road Network needs to be improved, Drainage systems also needs to be constructed to reduce Perennial flooding. The undeveloped Old Winneba Road(currently being encroached) which runs through the South side of the Densu Delta protected area and Glefe township would be a very great alternative to the Accra-Kasoa-Winneba road.

I still have this nostalgic feeling whenever memories of this vast lands come rushing...
