The LamDel Residents Association (RA) has declared war against ongoing municipal issues and poor service delivery.<\/p>\n
The organisation, which was established in 2016 and encompasses Denlee, Delville, Hazeldene, Hazel Park, Klippoortjie North, Lambton, Parkhill Gardens, Webber and the Germiston Lake, covering two wards and two CPFs, recently launched their Winter Action Report (WAR) campaign.<\/p>
The campaign is not only aimed at holding the metro accountable for service delivery, but also encouraging the community to report service delivery issues to the metro.<\/p>\n
\u201cResidents will complain that a pothole hasn\u2019t been fixed or the stormwater drains are blocked, but when you ask for a reference number, they tell you they haven\u2019t lodged a call,\u201d said Lornette Joseph, chairperson of LamDel RA.<\/p>
\u201cThe metro, councillors and even LamDel RA exco simply cannot be everywhere.<\/p>\n
\u201cAlso, if the residents made the calls, the metro can\u2019t say they aren\u2019t aware of the issues.<\/p>\n
\u201cLodging the complaints will also help the metro because they will know of all the issues.\u201d<\/p>\n
To further promote the campaign, LamDel RA is holding a competition.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe resident with the most calls logged will win a nice prize,\u201d explained Joseph.<\/p>\n
To enter, residents need to first log a call with the metro\u2019s call centre or on the metro\u2019s app and then send all the details (incident type, reference number, address of the complaint) together with their name and number to fbi@lamdel.org.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n The competition runs until July 15.<\/p>\n For more details, visit LamDel RA\u2019s Facebook page.<\/p>\n Have a story?<\/strong><\/p>\n Contact the newsroom by emailing: Melissa Hart (Editor)\u00a0<\/span>germistoncitynews@caxton.co.za\u00a0<\/a><\/strong>or Leigh Hodgson (News Editor)\u00a0<\/span>leighh@caxton.co.za<\/a>\u00a0<\/strong>or\u00a0Kgotsofalang Mashilo (journalist)\u00a0kgotsofalangm@caxton.co.za<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n Remember to visit the Germiston City News on the following social media platforms:<\/p>\n Facebook<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Twitter<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Instagram<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n YouTube\u00a0<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Or add the GCN on\u00a0<\/b><\/span>WhatsApp 079 406 1181<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>or\u00a0BBM (BBM Pin: 7F102137)<\/strong>\u00a0<\/b><\/span>today, to get all the latest news.<\/p>\n Catch-up on more local news with our sister newspapers\u00a0<\/span>Bedfordview Edenvale News<\/a><\/strong>,\u00a0<\/span>Alberton Record<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0<\/span>Kempton Express<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n
