A question for the management of Checkers in Scottburgh: Why are there no public toilets/washroom facilities? Are there any plans to build them?
Eskom outdid themselves in Pennington last weekend. Loadshedding was due to take place on Friday at 21:00. The electricity went off at about 20:45 and didn’t return until 13:30 on Saturday. Then to add insult to injury, some parts of Pennington went off again for another four hours from 16:00 to 20:00. A message from a friend in the USA who wanted to connect via Zoom at 16:00 on Saturday: “Your electric company is horrible.” I think that pretty much covers it!
Pennington Conservancy has created new signs to make recycling easier on Wednesday mornings at Relton Hall. Thank you.
