GEORGE NUUS - Pierre Botha van Heather Park in George het gevra dat die SAPS-veiligheidswenke van Blanco (sektor 4) weer gepubliseer word, aangesien dit op almal betrekking het en nie net vir Blanco van belang is nie. Hy het ook gevra dat elke inwoner omsien na die veiligheid van sy of haar twee direkte bure asook die drie wat direk oorkant die straat bly. Hy sê so verseker ons dat elkeen se veiligheid deur persoonlike betrokkenheid ook sal bydrae tot die bekamping van misdaad.

Pierre Botha of Heather Park in George has requested that the Blanco SAPS safety tips (Sector 4) be published to the benefit of the greater George. He also asked that each resident look out for his or her two direct neighbours as well as the three opposite the road. He says in this way we ensure everyone's safety through personal involvement and this will bring down crime.
