Muslims celebrated Eid ul Adha last Sunday. Wishing all Muslims Eid Mubarak. (Grateful thanks to Sabera Amla who always keeps me updated).
Pennington Ratepayers’ and Residents’ Association (PRRA) has organised a Pothole Repair Project 2022, and is asking for donations from the community.
This community and self-help project is as a result of the recent community meetings held in Pennington, and a big thanks those who attended.
Some of these potholes compromise our safety and could potentially cause damage to our vehicles and must be addressed. This project will be funded through donations and managed by a team of professionally qualified volunteers.
The administration of the project will be undertaken by the PRRA, a registered non-profit organisation: Registration No: 2022 / 376025 / 08. All roads in Pennington have been assessed and prioritised.
These priorities have been based upon various criteria. For example, safety (i.e. size and immediate danger to the public), road usage, road importance (i.e. access to businesses, clinic, etc). Note: All donations relating to this project (Pothole Repair Project 2022) will be utilised for this project only.
Donations can be deposited in: Standard Bank Savings account: PRRA, branch code 057627, account no: 254980481, reference: street and surname. Email penningtonresidentsassociation@gmail.com for further details.
There are four types of Pennington residents: (1) Those that won’t contribute to road repair – they say it’s the municipality’s duty. (2) Those that know the municipality won’t repair potholes and therefore will contribute to the PRRA to have a contractor to do this. (3) Those that drive SUVs and enjoy the challenge of our potholed roads. (4) And then there are those that couldn’t care less. Everyone is entitled to their opinion. Thanks to those who actively support the project.
