Sick and tired of excuses rather than solutions to Coe, s service delivery. A simple light dip on a Sunday fixing or upgrading a cable take 4hrs, when in the years past it was a 20 min call out, You know why, because it's overtime generating style, the longer we stay in the power station, the more we get paid. No effeciency, No expediting call outs, No regard for the residents.Typical, water leaks on yards takes 48 hrs respond time but to close the work site its a month.

The state of disrepair of lighting in our city is disgusting.Wire hanging from poles, poles vandalised & where no physical damage, no working globes.

I am tired of paying for a service I do not get and an aged grid that hasn't been maintained. Maybe it is time to take the council to court to have them removed and competent people put in their placeGavin Schutte (Alberton, 2021-02-03)

Criminals are taking advantage of these issues AND if its is a service we are paying for there should not ever be a case of "not a priority" - we are paying in spite of salary decreases - do what you are getting paid to do!Sharmaine Mari (Edleen, 2021-02-03)

We have had no street lights for months. Despite numerous requests nothing has been done to rectify the situation. Covid cannot be used as an excuse to have no street lights for months on end. It is dangerous for the tax and rate paying residents.Colleen Shaw (Germiston, 2021-02-03)

Street lights are always an issue and never fixed despite being escalated to management. In fact all service deliveries in our area is an issue. Workers don't take pride in their work anymore!

I would like to feel safe in the area I love. Without the lights we are targeted by thieves at our own homes. The light make it easier for me to see what happening. Infront of my home I have the Simmer and Jack waste disposal dump big holes in the wall the thieves sit and watch and use that as an escape. It's so dark at night that the works cant see when these people appear through the hole to rob them. The hard earn wages. This is not far that we all fall victim to these thrives. Please we need assistance.LEE-ANN Du Plooy (GERMISTON, 2021-02-03)

Our community is always in darkness and it seems that the ANC led municipality does not care about the residents of this community, if it's not the street lights then it's the area outages due to lack of maintenance and service delivery as we are alot of the times left in darkness for days and are expected to pay for a service that is non existent not to mention sanitation department not doing their jobs properly. There are too many issues to mention but this petition focuses on street lights thag need to be urgently fixed.Fabian Shunmoogam (Germiston, 2021-02-03)
