All the motorists that were stopped at the friendly roadblock received a holiday pack with bottled water, peanuts, lollipops, a pamphlet on saving water, a pamphlet with traffic safety tips and the latest George Municipal Newspaper which contains the Mayor’s festive message and more tips on how to save water.
