GEORGE NEWS - George ward councillors will be returning to their constituencies before Wednesday 15 November to confirm the top 10 priorities identified for their wards in the first round of Integrated Development Plan (IDP) meetings.
At these meetings, that took place last week, the ward committees had the opportunity to review the IDP ward priorities and re-prioritise necessary projects.
The five-year IDP document was adopted by the George Council in May 2017.
The drafting of the IDP started concurrently with the establishment of ward committees after the 2016 local government elections, and this may have created a gap in terms of ward committee input as they could not participate in the process as legislated stakeholders.
The meetings will also allow for feedback on the progress made with regards to existing projects and for sharing information on future projects.
The municipality will measure its service delivery efforts against these priorities, inter alia.
The ward committee members and councillor for Ward 14 are, from left: John Pato, Solomon Rhode, Rosina Deyce, Blanche Klassen, Cllr Edmund Bussack, Julian Klassen, Charleen Titus, Gert Olivier and Sarah Yazo.
