Various communities that have been at the heart of ensuring our neighbourhoods thrive tell us their hopes for the new year.
Employee at Melville Security Initiative (MSI) Danyle Nunes: I hope as the MSI we achieve implementation of the safe Streets project and create a safer area and atmosphere for all to enjoy. I hope to keep doing what I do and make a positive contribution. My message to the community is that life's too short to make big issues out of small matters. May you achieve all the goals you set for 2024.
As each new year rolls in so too does the hope of all the possibilities it holds to be great.
Though it may come with unexpected challenges our determination to face them head on makes the wonder of it all the more important for us to experience. Local organisations and groups also have the same wonder when it comes to what they envisage their year to be. More importantly what they hope to achieve in the community they serve.
Here are some well wishes and hopes of the year from some local organisations:
