BRITS POS – BRITS – Not even a photo with a complaint that was reported of a streetlight pole that could possibly fall over in Elandsrand on Thursday, 15 February got the Madibeng Local Municipality to take any action thus far.
A quick survey was done in Brits and Brits Pos found numerous similar challenges in a small area in Brits town, which pose a risk to residents and road users, especially with the rain and the strong, gusty winds which also saw the dilapidated shade net parking at the Madibeng Municipality end up in Ludorf Street last week after a storm.
The questions that the municipality has to answer to are when will the following be repaired?
*Street light poles that are falling over,
*Street lights that don’t work that give robbers the ideal opportunity to rob residents of their possessions in the dark and also commit home and business robberies.
*Sewage and potable water flowing down the roads
*Potholes, or rather dongas in the roads
*Households and businesses having to go without water, not for days but weeks
*Electricity supply to businesses and houses, not during load shedding
Businesses and residents are asking the question – is there no accountability?
With the upcoming General Election, May 29 around the corner, residents say they are sick and tired to not only hear, but see and also have to pay for all these promises.
(Not even a front-page article in Brits Pos of 9 February, with facts and photos could change the circumstances of residents in Theodorus Street, Brits as nothing has been done by the Madibeng Local Municipality.)
