Municipal SRA Approval

The Pigeon Valley UIP application is in the approval process at the municipality and on track for the start date of 1 July 2023 .

Whilst waiting for the green light, committee members have been building relationships with key officials in the Parks, Roads & Storm Water and Durban Solid Waste (DSW) Departments  to find out how they work, so that we can support improved service delivery going forward.

Grass Cutting and Weeding

The Road Reserve Maintenance (Red Teams)

The committee have received great news on the appointment of contractors in our area, The RRM Teams have been contracted for 36 months by the Roads and Storm Water Department to do grass cutting, litter picking, edging and weeding of pavements on major roads which include Alan Paton, Albert Dlomo, King George V, Lena Ahrens, Penzance, Princess Alice and ZK Matthews.

All other road pavements and verges are the Parks Department responsibility at this stage.

The committee is supporting the quality controllers of these contractors to ensure the scope of work is adhered to.

The Public Employment Programme (Blue Teams)

PEP Teams are individuals who are being given a stipend through various municipal departments to assist with clearing verges, open spaces and parks of litter and weeds and have been supervised by a core of dedicated community volunteers.
