The Funeral Planning Committee (FPC) says it has made amendments to its original schedule on public access to the Asomdwee Park, due to the overwhelming resolve by the general public to pay their last respect, and drop flowers at the final resting place of the mortal remains of His Excellency Professor John Evans Atta Mills.

A statement signed by Mr. Samuel Okudzeto Ablakwa, Deputy Minister of Information and member of the FPC, said the Asomdwee Park will now be opened till the evening of Sunday, 19th August, 2012 after which it will be closed to the public for further works to be carried out on the site.

The statement explained that the additional works on the Asomdwee Park will now commence on the 20th of August, 2012 after which it will be opened to the public again.

Meanwhile, the time for public access remains 8am to 5pm daily. All vehicles are to be parked at the Independence Square.
