La Pleasure Beach closed for security exercise

Accra (Greater Accra) -- The National Security Council (NSC) on Monday announced a temporary closure of the La Pleasure Beach from March 25 to March 29, for safety and security exercise.

A statement from the NSC urged the general public to comply and co-operate with the directives to ensure that the exercise was completed within reasonable time to allow for normal operations of the Beach during the Easter festivities.

The NSC in collaboration with the Ministry of Tourism and the La Traditional Council expressed their regret for the inconveniences that the exercise might cause to programmes lined-up during the period of closure. The statement, however, assured the public that the beach would be opened to the public on Good Friday March 29.
