Chipata Municipal Council to start the process of expanding the township boundary.

Chipata Municipal Council will this year finally start the process of expanding the township boundary.
Chipata Mayor, Jealous Phiri told Breeze News that the process which was supposed to start last year delayed because most of the ten kilometer land where the local authority identified to extend its township boundaries along the Great East road is on title.
Mr. Phiri however, says that the council has been given another land under D116 in Chief Kapatamoyo’s area and along Chadiza road in Chief Chinkyaku’s area.
He says that the land given is enough for both residential and commercial plots.
And Mr. Phiri has urged business houses to ensure that they start putting up modern buildings as the town will in due time attain a city status.
He says that most business people from the second class trading area and town center will be expected to demolish their old structures and put up modern trading centers to beautify the town.
