Wendy Morgan, Ward 36 councillor writes:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It is a sad time for our country and for the world, but these lockdown measures have been put in place for everyone\u2019s safety.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

I appeal to the community to take this matter seriously and adhere to the restrictions that have been put in place.<\/p>\n

Please be considerate to everyone and work together.<\/p>

<\/div>\n

If you have an elderly neighbour, please try and assist them so they do not have to go out.<\/p>\n

However, if you are unable to help them, please give them my contact details and I will see if I can assist.<\/p>\n

The metro will still be supplying essential services, including waste collection during the lockdown, and I am available to assist with service delivery issues.<\/p>\n

I can be reached on my cellphone, 072 963 9675.<\/p>\n

I encourage residents to make sure their municipal accounts are paid seven days before the due date to avoid disconnection.<\/p>\n

Payments can be made directly into the metro\u2019s bank account.<\/p>\n

Bank: ABSA Bank<\/p>\n

Account number: 250000804<\/p>\n

Please be safe, stay home and sanitise.<\/p>\n
