Maybe in past times it was allowed

@@beanerschnitzel794 I don't believe that it was ever allowed and accepted by the Law..The Law never allows anything that is against a written Law of the Land. They may have been complacent or too lenient in their approached or perhaps turned a blind eyes to the illegal encroachment for quite some time because Gambia wasn't in a state of development at the time to perhaps enforced its Laws as we witness, but now the tides has turned around with such fast demand of rapid growth of commercial, industrial businesses and residential homes, everyone seems to be in demand scrambling for a little piece of a FREE land to attach to their original land as an extension only to profit from it by claiming ownership and entitlement of public property hoping and thinking Gambian authorities will never catch on by paying notice or take any action against such illegal intrusion of encroachment..They have surely underestimated the Law on their miscalculations as an oversight of such illegality of their ways in doing unethical business conduct and not have the slightest clue a day like this would come to bite them. Yes in the Gambia we can move slow when it comes to taking Actions against the law of the Land, but we always caught up when the right time comes..Let's just say it is an unfortunate situation based on purely an act of selfish interest on their part and it came to teach everyone a hard lesson to never ever over step one's boundaries under any circumstances. Stick to what you have and build inside your compound and not outside your fence line Period.

When you go to Europe or America you are happy to sit outside on the sidewalk and eat and watch people walking by. Or maybe you have not travelled anywhere except to Crocodile pond😂

@@henriettagibril6381 Folding tables, chairs, and umbrellas on the sidewalk, fine. But cabanas and porches built where the sidewalk should be? Not acceptable. Port Au Prince Haiti is a good example of what happens when no one complies with rules and regulations.

Plass bi , propaganda sports bar and restaurant were given permits for the encroached extension of the property.

It's really painful but it's an extension on the road. I believe the authorities should have prevented it before the owners spent such money and later asked to remove it spending money again. It's very very painful

It's better late than never. Imagine in 10 to 20 years. What chaos is it going to be if nothing is done. Jealous of who or what. Gimme a break 😅

Getting people to comply with regulations is a job my dear. The country cannot advance if everyone does what they like.

This is a classic example of land utility that near the public road. If something not right for the building, they need to have the right permits. These businesses are great for their economy. It’s just that the landowners should had check with authority before building.
