Glen View Area 8 Home Industry To Be Redesigned

City of Harare is making plans to redesign the Glen View Area 8 home industry to avoid and minimize future fire outbreaks, Small to Medium Enterprises SME Committee chairperson, Councilor Denford Ngadziore has said.

In a statement issued after touring the complex which reported yet another fire outbreak, Ngadziore said they will soon relocate traders from Area 8 to Glen View Area 1 home industry as they work on a new design.

“Very soon we are planning to temporarily relocate traders from Glenview Area 8 complex to Glenview 1 Home Industry, so that the City can replan and redesign the complex to avoid and minimize future outbreaks,” said Ngadziore.

According to Councilor Ngadziore, part of the plan is to put in place fire hydrants and access roads to enable fire brigade to move in, in case of an outbreak.

“Part of the plan is to put necessary fire hydrants and road access for the Fire-brigade to be able to access the inside the complex,” he said.

Ngadziore urged traders to comply with the municipality as they work on a permanent solution to a problem that has become common at the complex.

“Am calling upon stakeholders to comply with council so as to avoid future fire outbreaks. This week we will have stakeholders’ meeting for a permanent solution towards the perennial fire outbreaks at the Complex,” he said.

Fire outbreaks have become common at the Glen View Area 8 Home Industry with the situation worsened by the fact that the traders use thinners, saw dusts, paints, cotton wool and other flammable material to make furniture.
