Our neighbourhood is falling apart. Rates & taxes money do not appear to be used for any improvements in the area.Willie Swanepoel (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

I have lived in Bedfordview for over 40 years. We moved here as we loved Village life and Bedfordview was a small village, very pretty little place, known as the garden village. We drove around easily and quickly. Everyone obeyed the law and appreciated our area. Service delivery was prompt, usually within hours but mostly on the day it was reported. There were no potholes, no rubbish lying around, lawns on pavements were cut by council, trees attended to, etc. There has been a total turnaround. Potholes everywhere. Burst my tyre almost 3 years ago in a porthole on Kloof, still no response from council, who claim they cover those incidents financially. I have been reporting potholes caused by municipal staff attending to problems in Elizabeth Road and still they are there. Street Lights out. Messy pavements. Water leaks all over with slow response time to repair. Advertising signs all over. Parks not attended to, with the result that homeless sleep there. The area is over populated with no building restrictions adhered to and no consequences. I could go on. In short, we need to see the money we pay put to good use.Mavis Clark (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

Bedfordview has deteriorated so much and property values have been seriously affected. Also the condition of the roads, pavements and the litter poses a huge risk to health and safety. The infrastructure is rapidly falling apart.Clive Rathband (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

The infrastructure has collapsed. All our municipal facilities are a disgrace. Our Fire Station is in a serious state of disrepairWe keep on paying our rates and taxes for no service delivery.

I am signing because I have lived in St. Andrews for 31 years and the state of our area is disgraceful! Potholes; overgrown grass; the road at the robots is like trying to climb a mountain with a 4 x 4 - full of holes and uneven tarmac; street lights constantly out of order; water being wasted as it just flows down the road. Our area was once beautiful. It is a shame to see what it is turning to. Thank Goodness that we have Jill Humphreys who tries to assist everyone and gets things done!Helen Panayotakis (Johannesburg, 2021-02-03)

I am tired of seeing my suburb looking like a dump site. Rubbish everywhere and overgrown pavements everywhere.My car has to be roadworthy and licensed, but the roads aren’t car worthy.
We pay one of the highest rates and taxes and we have to get volunteers to clean the pavements.
This is not acceptable and I demand that the municipality start doing their duties.

Our streets are full of potholes . The intersection of Civn, Chaucer and St Christopher is in a seriously dangerous condition. The roads were dug up for new pipes and just left ..shocking that this should be allowed.. surely the roads department should repair immediately..its 3 months now.Gale Farinha (Johannesburg, 2021-02-03)
#288
I am tired of paying volunteer workers to clean up our pavements when we pay Ekurhuleni to do this. Also Gilooly's Farm not being open and available as a public park is an absolute shame. When will Ekurhuleni clean up Gilooly's and make it available for all citizens to enjoyHelenor Whitecross (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

Service delivery in Ekurhuleni has got far worse in recent years and has now reached a totally unacceptable level. I urge you to reverse this trend immediately in order to restore the locality to somewhere that we are proud and able to reside in.Dave Dodge (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

I am sick of the lack of service delivery!!! we pay exorbitant rates and Taxes for street lights to never work, roads to be littered with potholes, pavements with grass so tall and thick it's a driving hazard, no water for days on end too frequently and the regular power outages are a mere cherry on the top.Angela Nel (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

I am tired of the mess everywhere and quick decline in the suburb despite high rates and taxes being paid. Our property values are in jeopardy and it attracts loitering by unsavoury characters who can hide in the overgrowth making it even more unsafe.KARLA Strydom (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

We need a big clean in Bedfordview!!Lola Da Costa (Johannesburg, 2021-02-03)
#353
I'm signing because i have seen the gradual above inflation increases in taxes and utilities over a number of years and at the same time the service delivery levels have been dropping over the years gradually to current levels which are no existent. if a private company was to do councils job it would be done at a considerable discount to current charges and the service delivery would be seen where currently there is none. Perhaps its time for all property owners to embark on paying rates to a trust account and out of the hands of corrupt politiciansBrian von Holdt (BEDFORDVIEW, 2021-02-03)

I am fed up with the service delivery in the area. Covid has been used as an excuse for very poor service delivery. There is no reason for the state of our roads, parks, pavements, lights, very poor attendance to leaks and potholes with the extremely high rates and taxes that we pay. There is very limited risk of these workers being exposed to Covid. The majority have been paid for a year for doing the bear minimum.Robyn Korras (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

The verges are overgrown with weeds that are growing into the roads causing the tar to break up. There are numerous pot holes in the road. The paving on the walk ways is also covered in weeds and mud. Benches along the walk ways have been vandalised and broken. Trees need to be pruned. Numerous road signs need to be replaced.Jeannette McAdam (Bedfordview, 2021-02-03)

Water, sewage, electricity, road maintenance, security, public areas are not maintained. Outages are frequent, burst water pipes domino through our suburbs and turn around times are unacceptable unless our ward counselor Ms Humphries, deals with issues personally.this has created major damage with in-home geysers, pipes, thermostats etc. Constant extra costs. Dustbins have been downsized creating great expense to hire private refuse removal companies. Street lights are not functional creating massive threat to safety. We pay exhorbitant rates and taxes. Where is the money, where are the services we pay for? Unacceptable if we wish to protect and grow SA as a nation. People need jobs. Municiple work (outside, masked and sanitized) could secure 1000's of jobs for people and maintain municipalities as they should be. Instead our safety, security, and productivity are disrupted and compromised, feeding this negative cycle. Not acceptable! Weed out corruption, provide employment and do the job you have been trusted to do honourably and with integrity.Galetea Lipshitz (DJHB, 2021-02-03)

Our suburb is so run down due to lack of municipal maintenance.Where are all my rates going.
