Honiara City Council (HCC) Law Enforcement officers have demolished the Taliseh betel nut market area on Tuesday, this week.
HCC in a statement said the demolition exercise was carried out following complaints raised by residents living around the West Kola Ridge communities.
According to the HCC, the Director of Law Enforcement, Mr. Robert Madeo, said the market obstructed road access and had become a place associated with criminal activities.
Mr. Madeo explained that the action was undertaken to enhance public safety and security.
The HCC statement further adds that it is also to allow elderly people, women, men, and children to move freely and peacefully.
The statement said HCC is committed to maintain public order and ensure a safe environment for all city residents.
