Accelerated service delivery campaign gains momentum in Region F
The programme was launched by the executive mayor, councillor Geoff Makhubo, on April 13 in Ivory Park, Midrand, in Region A.
The City of Johannesburgās Region F is moving with speed in executing the 120 days Accelerated Service Delivery Programme.
One of the objectives of the programme is to fast-track service delivery challenges in targeted areas and service delivery hotspots around the city.
The programme focuses on integrated and multidisciplinary operations that have a direct and immediate impact on the quality of lives for residents in different wards.
City entities such as the Joburg Roads Agency, City Power, Pikitup, City Parks and every single department that is at the forefront of service delivery in the City are deployed with appropriate and adequate resources to ensure that work is community centred and promotes active citizenry.
From May 3 to 5, the programme continued in Ward 124, Turffontein, where City Power disconnected a business found to have illegally connected electricity in Donnelly Street, Joburg Water replaced missing valve covers in several streets and fixed leaking water meters in Stanton, Ferreira and Van Hulsteyn streets and Pikitup collected waste and cleared illegal dumping sites.
Public education and awareness is always part of the programme to ensure that continuous education takes place and is conducted by Citizen Relationship and Urban Management and other entities.
āThe programme is gaining momentum and is swiftly moving from ward to ward in the region. We are happy with the progress so far and promise to expand our efforts and cover more hotspots,ā said Region F acting regional director Roger Ganhes.
