GEORGE NEWS - George Mayor Leon van Wyk, new senior manager of Environmental Services Sivuyile Mtila and superintendent of Parks and Recreation Tyrone April visited Gwaiing beach last Friday, 9 July, to inspect the newly replaced balustrades along the promenade.
The brand-new stainless steel railings were installed in June to replace the existing wooden railings at a cost of R90 000.
The ablution facilities at the beach were vandalised in March this year with toilets, windows and pipes damaged and/or broken, and a door at the campsite was vandalised. The windows and frames have been replaced at a cost of R60 000 and additional security measures will be put in place to mitigate further vandalism of this nature. Both projects were completed using budget from the 2020/21 financial year.
• George Municipality appeals to the public to please come forward if they have any information about vandalism against municipal property or assets. Make use of the four Ws: Where did it happen? What happened? When did it happen? Who did it? Help George Municipality to keep George safe. Please contact them on 044 801 9111 or 044 801 6300.
