I no longer drive and as I walk to the shops I find hands-full of rubbish that is dropped by other pedestrians; often within one or two paces of a rubbish bin. I pick-up half a shopping bag between Talisman Avenue and Eastgate Shopping Centre. I congratulate the Municipality on having mown Oriel Park and some of the roadsides. There are many derelict houses and halted construction sites in Bedfordview - can the owners not be encouraged (fine?) to neaten these? I have lived in this house for more than 45 years!

Rates and taxes has escalated out of control and the mayor of Ekurhuleni loot our taxpayers monies to the extend that no maintenance of roads and infrastructure take place anymore. Sewer every day in our streets find it way to our stinking rivers and to our stinking Hartebeespoort Dam. Ekurhuleni is not up to date on electricity payments to Eskom. Water is unreliable and not of a good quality and we are paying dearly for it
We can't cycle to work or for pleasure because pavements is in a derelict state.
The parks and green areas is overgrown.
So basically we are paying more than 1% of our property value yearly as rates to CoE and get nothing back for it. The license renewal department is chaos. Runners stand in front of the queue with 100 of renewals and you stand like 2 hours in the queue for about 3 times before you get your car licenses renewed. Nothing is working professionally any more!

Because of the shocking state of our roads, pavements and parks.

Potholes not being repaired.
Manhole covers fitted are bigger so dont insert correctly cause damage to cars.
Refuse collections falling behind.
Verges not being cut regularly.
Service delivery vehicle not being maintained

Lack of service delivery

All service delivery departments have collapsed. It is absolutely shocking. What happens to our rates and taxes? Why are we paying when we do not get anything in return.

Anne-Marie Felcia (Germiston, 2021-02-14)

It is clear that monies paid into Rates and Taxes are not being used effectively as far as maintenance is concerned.

It’s time for change.

We pay for service delivery but get rubbish in our streets instead.... And don't even talk about road conditions are not road worthy

The degradation of our Suburb and lack of Service Delivery despite our astronomical Rates

Elmarie Naude (Bedfordview, 2021-02-16)

#1645

Cause we pay for services & Edenvale is looking so run down, no parks being mowed, streets are dirty, pot holes. We keep paying & they keep taking. 🤬🤬🤬🤬

Chantell Lord (Edenvale, 2021-02-16)

I pay rates and taxes every month, on time, and have done for years. But I get nothing in return. Pavements are overgrown and hinder views, making driving dangerous, grass and plants and trees are growing into the roads, potholes are huge and getting bigger & deeper by the day, traffic lights don’t work, streets are not painted or demarcated with lines and litter abounds. What am I actually paying for? Bedfordview used to be a suburb to be proud of. No longer - sadly.

Vanessa Anderson (Johannesburg, 2021-02-16)

A gradual decline in service delivery has now developed into a serious nose dive our once beautiful and well kept Johannesburg has turned into a chaotic pothole ridden rubbish dumped septic area of urban decay

I'm disgusted by the leadership in this country. Dumbfounded by the stealing. And sick to death of corruption.

Max Hogg (Edenvale, 2021-02-17)

My child goes to school in Bedfordview and we live nearby. We also shop in the area. The collapse of municipal services here as well as across wider Johannesburg is apparent. Major road arterials are littered with deep tyre and safety threatening potholes, the streets are filled with litter and the watercourses are filled with an overwhelming stench of raw sewage. What are we paying for?

Michael Brown (Johannesburg, 2021-02-17)

This are one of the heartbreaking deeds to see. I simply sign it because I care.farther more, is to acknowledge and support the voice of those who are willing to do right to protect safe and clean the environment.

The more we can get to show their support perhaps we can get something done

Not happy with the lack of service by the council . Cannot see where our rates and taxes are being used . Disgusting situation

James Hoey (Bedfordview, 2021-02-18)

The only way for our country to succeed is if we can all do our bit to fix things in our communities. Service delivery is key to that.

Lorenzo Messina (Germiston, 2021-02-18)

#1676

Because your service delivery is utter ass. Incompetence reeks strong from this municipal structure.

Kieron Baart (Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-18)

#1677

I’m fed up with this council, we pay high rates but nothing is feed back into our suburb. Complaining falls on deaf ears if you can get hold of anyone!! It’s an absolute disgrace.

I'm signing because I'm sick and tired of the state things are in. We pay large amounts every month to council and atleast we need some sort of action to be taken.

#1711

I'm signing because I want to be proud of the area I live in, at the moment I am embarrassed of the state of the area. Potholes everywhere, water/sewerage issues/sidewalks not cut/the library is old and grubby.

Rachel Noble (Morninghill, 2021-02-19)

The state of Ekurhuleni is disgusting

Konni Jackson (Germiston, 2021-02-20)

My area looks like a jungle, the roads are full of potholes, and as for the lack of support when the power goes off. We get told "I'm not city power what am I supposed to do about it". The apathy is disgusting

Ingrid Sawyer (Germiston, 2021-02-20)

#1716

I see how our suburb and the Paul Kruger Highway is looking like a jungle. The refuse dump is full, has flies buzzing and a health hazard. There is a sewer man hole at the road over rail that is overflowing with steerage. Why are we paying rates and taxes whilst the municipal workers get paid, yet service delivery is non existant.
Time to fight back!
I DEMAND full consistent service delivery.

Vivien Reynolds (Dersley, 2021-02-21)

To effect change and improve Bedfordview

Gen Maia (Johannesburg, 2021-02-24)

#1744

I'm signing because our lovely suburb has turned into an eyesore that is both a health hazard and a driving hazard. The more litter and decay that is visible, the more it encourages others to litter and turn a blind eye to decay. This has to stop. Property values will be dropping dramatically if this continues.

Ariadne Palmos (Gauteng, 2021-02-24)

#1749

Service delivery is non existing and it has never looked this bad ever. Nothing is maintained...roads and lights, gras and weeds are the longest they have ever been, sewage spills & infrastructure has collapsed... And and and...

Bruce Ryan (Ekhuruleni, 2021-02-25)

#1754

I am signing this because I have been a Bedfordview resident for many years and I am appalled at the conditions of the roads, potholes, unkept sidewalks and parks. If this is not dealt with now it will deteriorate further.

#1775

I pay extremely high rates and get what? in return? I’m tired of replacing Tyres damaged by potholes. And of constant failure of infrastructure due to zero maintenance... like burst water pipes, non replacement of street lights, power cuts that damage appliances. I’m tired of corruption in our own metro. The whole system is sick. We need to withhold rates.

Stella van Niekerk (Ekurhuleni, 2021-02-28)
