Shifting markets, developing scheme roads major demands in Coimbatore West Zone

In added areas, residents want improved water supply, daily garbage removal

The 45.39-sq.km. West Zone is the second smallest zone after Central Zone and one of the four zones that has both parts of added and old city areas. With Kavundampalayam in the north, Ponnaiahrajapuram in the south, Vadavalli in the west, Mettupalayam Road in the east, West Zone has both the well-developed R.S. Puram and Bharati Park and the relatively underdeveloped Veerakeralam and Seeranaickenpalayam.

As in many other added areas, the residents’ demand in Kavundampalayam, Vadavalli and Veerakeralam was good quality roads, improved water supply, particularly in Veerakeralam, street light coverage and daily removal of waste.

Besides addressing the residents’ basic civic needs, the Corporation should look at shifting the Anna Retail and Dr. M.G.R. wholesale vegetable markets to the Eru Company yard near Sanganoor Road Junction on Mettupalayam Road to reduce traffic congestion, said a former councillor.
