The Marketing Director of Lakeside Estate Company limited, Lawrence Desuzah has asked  government to ensure that the national housing policy which currently before cabinet  compels real estate developers to set up recreational centers in their respective centers for clients.

According to him, the law should ensure that the recreational parks are created before the housing projects takes to help families.

He said every land permit includes the establishment of recreational centers but unfortunately, developers in country ignore it and build houses instead.

The national housing policy is expected to focuses on six thematic areas, which are: a national housing vision to deal with the current 1.5 million housing deficit challenge confronting the country, goals and objectives; land for housing, housing financing, housing design and construction, institutional reforms and a housing governance.

Meanwhile the policy  which will regulate the real estate  industry, would also ensure that housing is designed and built to sustainable building principles leading to the creation of green communities and that all stakeholders, along with local communities, would make an input into decisions on housing development and location.

Speaking in an interview with Adom news during the launch of 5^th edition of Lakeside Marina Park independent family fun far in Accra, the Marketing Director of Lakeside Estate said without the policy the players in the industry will continue to flout the rules that will make the industry the best force to reckon with in the economic sector of the country.
