ISSUES IN WARD 66 FOR THE ABM IN THE SOUTH DURBAN BASIN TO
FLAG:
14 November 2007
1) RELOCATION OF CONTAINER TRUCK DEPOTS from Edwin Swales VC Dve to Cato
Ridge. Greater use of rail. Partnership with Spoornet, Transnet, Propnet needed.
2) ROBOTS: Umbilo feed into Edwin Swales
Unnamed lane 300 m from Bluff Rd in Edwin Swales
Intersection of Grays Inn & Brighton Rds.
Intertsection of Bideford & tara Rds.
3) CLAIRWOOD: Overhead walkway bridge for pedestrians South Coast / Blamey Rds
4.1) CLAIRWOOD: Town planning needs to be applied so as to weed out and halt further
trucking operations and other commercial interests that have infiltrated the residential core.
4.2) CLAIRWOOD: Council-owned land must be cleaned up, fenced off OR sold.
5) SPEEDHUMPS: Garmouth, Welfreer, Smith, Admiral, Nirvana, St Patricks, Garcin, Oriel,
Netford, Bushlands, Wade, Marathon, Armstrong, Brixham, Shamrock, Donald, Watsonia
Spanier Marson: ALL on the BLUFF / WENTWORTH
Horsham and Sastri - CLAIRWOOD
6.1) ROAD RESURFACING: MARINE DRIVE : from Nicholl Rd to Crossways. last done 1990
- up to Anstey Rd the balance not done since 1980.
6.2) ROAD RE-SURFACING: BEACH RD from Lancelot to Tara Rd. Very uneven and falling
away at the edges.
7) CRASH RAILINGS: Down Bluff rd from Super Spar: unsightly need to be pressure
cleaned. New ones needed outside FNB in Grays Inn Rd
8) BASIC MAINTENANCE TO STORM WATER DRAINS: Clogged by sand, plastic, and other
debris.
9) STREET SWEEPING: Not happening. Many shocking examples: Edwin Swales Dve,
Brighton Rd near Wentworth Rd, Marine Dve between Convent and Netford Rd. Lighthouse
Rd between Donegal and Tara.
10) BIG TRUCKS ON THE BLUFF: None above 9 tonnes permitted. Bylaw routinely ignored.
Travel fast and furiously along Bluff and Lighthouse Rds. METRO POLICE deterrent
needed.
11) ANTI-SOCIAL CONDUCT: ANSTEYS BEACH: Metro Police deterrent needed. Harsher
fines needed - not R100 for urinating in public or drunken conduct but R1,000 so as to
prove a real deterrent.
12) BAYVIEW SOCCER PARK: (St Patricks Rd/ Wentworth Rd) Needs to be properly fenced
off to prevent quadbikers taxis, loiterers.
13) DEBRIS ON VERGES: NO Council policing of this. Building debris lies there for up to a
year.
14) WEEDS AND OTHER SHRUBS GROWING IN GUTTERS, ON SIDEWALKS - must be
poisoned.
15) PUBLIC PARTNERSHIPS: in the case of traffic islands and flower beds: to be
encouraged
16) PROACTIVE ROLE IN MONITORING COUNCIL INFRASTRUCTURE: Officials need to
be doing this. Cllrs cannot be expected to be able to cover the in excess of 200 roads in a
ward so as to monitor smashed drains, barriers, potholes etc.
