How long are residents going to accept the present standard of our town that looks and smells like a sewerage farm?Wavecrest has sewerage water running and standing in potholes in just about every street. There are sewerage tanks over flowing and running into Noorsekloof and on down to the beaches.
We are getting dirty drinking water that stains washing and destroys it at the same time . We have water restrictions with an average of 88.8% full dams. Is it because the price of water was increased when the restrictions were put in place to discourage residents from using water and will the price be reduced if the restrictions are lifted?
There are major potholes in just about every street. Some are being repaired with red top soil and some with poor quality cement, and are not even given time to dry or gain strength . Potholes are being repaired in Da Gama road and sidewalks are being cleaned so that the visitors to the Surfing Competition thinks all is nice and well in Jeffreys Bay but the internals shows a different picture of our failing services.
There are street lights that have been burning since the power outage and no effort to have the day/night switches repaired. What a waste of taxpayer's money!
There is a saying if you want a reaction, apply heat. I think a lot of heat is required very quickly as rigor mortis has already started in Jeffreys Bay. It is up to us the residents to do something now!
HOW LONG MUST WE WAIT FOR DECENT SERVICES !!!!!!!!!
Without a doubt every resident in Jeffreys Bay, Paradise Beach, St Francis(all of Kouga!) will agree with the facts stated in this article.
ReplyDeleteWhat about asking Mr Anonymous and or our chairman to send this article to the Mayor/Mayoral committee. It's our democratic right and responsibility to see to it that our town council fulfills its duty -- a duty we're paying for! Dave Webster
I am quite prepared to stop paying rates right now, Im just waiting for the go ahead from anyone, if we all stop en masse, all at the same time, we can bring these ba*(&^ to their knees, and begging us for money, for their undeserved salaries. Im sick of them, voetsek to the lot of u. we have all had enough, its time for u to go ,and we dont want your new plakkers camp either, Dump that like a ton of bricks. Cover it with the sewage u so readily pollute our beaches with.
