QUEEN STREET SEWER REPAIR
The following was brought to my attention by the omnipresent Mr John Wilkinson. I have requested feedback from JWater and added my concerns.

Cllr Neuren Pietersen

Open the video-clip and SEE the foam flowing north from the saddle NOT FITTED SECURELY to the 315mm pipe - NOT HDPE.
Now backfilling happening - and J Water SEWERS Div is GUARANTEEING that a RE-DO will be necessary owing to erosion and another COLLAPSE!
WHY NOT "RIGHT1Tme?!
Faithfully - John Wilkinson ("Ears & Eyes" ...)

QUEEN STREET SEWER REPAIR
Good day BraMothusi
Please see the concerns raised above.

I also want to ask if you are happy with the bedding aggragate that the pipe is resting on?

Please ensure that the pipe is installed correctly as this should be a long term repair.

Thank you.

SOME GOOD NEWS
To motivate and inspire us.

[05/20, 11:41 am] Cllr Neuren Pietersen: I am very impressed with the work that Michelina and her team are doing and the results that they have achieved.

It has significantly improved one of the main access points to Kensington.

Well done.

Regards
Cllr Neuren Pietersen
[05/20, 11:44 am] Tasha Stewart Stewart: That section of Kensington looks great. I love the mosaic street names. Thank you for your hard work
[05/20, 12:01 pm] Michelina: Thanks, Tasha...it's actually Bruma (Ernest Schwartz Lane) but we're just one street away from Queen Street. We still have another 6 to do for our street. We've been inspired by Sue Retallak. My sister and I and two of my crew members went for mosaic training last year.

This week we're busy painting in Cumberland Rd. Wave or hoot as you go by - it will make the crew very happy! 👋

Dear Residents
There are numerous long term outages across the city and they are impacting ward 118 as well.

It is clear that City Power no longer has the resources needed to keep the lights on. Wasteful practices, theft of infrastructure, lack of maintenance and poor workmanship have finally come to a head.

City Power is effectively operating hand to mouth with little to no reserves, if not less.

This brings the reality home that the City needs a change of leadership and it cannot come soon enough. To make this happen we all need to be 100% sure that we are registered to vote in the right voting district.
Luckily we can all do this easily by
