Greymont forum ( Residents association)

Hi Greymonters

If you didn't know yet, Greymont has started pulling up it's sock and the residents are taking action. We have started to take notice of the problems in the area and are addressing them through a residents forum which will meet once a month at the NG Kerk( as far as I know) It will be the first Monday of every Month (next 5 March 2012 so please join it will help if we all stand together our area can gain the pride it once had.

There is no reason that we cant make this area the next Park Hurst or Greenside. Please support all the legitimate business in the area and promote a small town feel in the area.

The Gent organising the Form is Chris and is doing a wonderful Job, please support him as thus far most of the expense has come from his pocket.

Also we are are asking people to help Neighbours with tools to cut and maintain the curbs if they have started to overgrow. We all know this is the Cities JOB but if we left anything up to them we might as well live in a tin shack township.

THE BIG ONE please report any dodgy dealings in the area to the Sophia town Police station and when reopting any crimes to 10111 make sure you get a IR number.

We are SECTOR 3 and our SAP car direct number is 071 675 6192 or 071 675 6185 but also report the incident through the 10111 number. PLEASE DONT ABUSE THIS NUMBER WE DONT WANT TO CRY WOLF!!! only if there is an incident or you feel unsafe.

Mandela 67 Minutes

Well, I wonder if it's just us stupid Law abiding citizens that do these charitable outings. Today I decided that for Mandela day, I would spend my morning picking up rubbish in the Carel Venter Park (of which there is a hell of a lot to pick up). I spent over an hour doing this while several hobos and park strollers dotted past, not once offering any help (great Community we live in) At least on Guy who was eating his food right next to a huge pile of rubbish felt at home, he left his rubbish on the floor even after being asked to start using the bins.

I counted 20 Condom rappers that I picked up, some would say at least they are using condoms, I say get a room and some moral’s you sick people. I wonder how many woman where actually consenting to have sex under those romantic circumstances or how many where rape victims in our dark parks. Hello Police something to look into, yes that’s right we have vagrants in our parks after dark posing a major security and safety hazard. Plleeaaase start patrolling the green belt I have a map for you if you need it.

On a lighter Note, I got back from collecting the rubbish only to get my sister laws words that’s not your Job!

Imagine if we all thought like that, so go on do something for Mandela day even if it’s not for him, do it for your Community.

Oh yes Pick it up refused to take my Bags of Rubbish because they didn’t fit in my black bin.
Go figure!

Litter, litter, litter

Our parks look so beautiful but are consistently under threat from people that don’t have any morels and consider the parks a dumping ground. This will only stop when the community start using the parks and confront the situation, I encourage people to get out there Houses and start education other people especially children on picking up litter.

PLEASE TAKE RESPONSILITY FOR YOUR PAVEMENT AND PARKS.

I don’t know about you but I don’t want to live in a dump, if someone can’t do the basic civic duty of picking up litter or actually not littering, please point it out to them. If they can’t even do this basic function how can they possibly do anything constructive in life.

I watched a guy walk with two bags of rubbish, walk all the way down to the spruit and toss it in, I just don’t understand it! Today the rubbish gets picked up by pick it up… so just put it in one of the 1000 dustbins out today I’m sure the residents won’t mind.

A shout out to the teen age (skateboarders) that confronted this man about littering I hope he got the message, but some people are so thick I’m sure he didn’t.

It’s like a nail you keep hammering it in eventually the nail goes all the way…..

DO NOT LITTER AND HELP EXPOSE LITTER BUGS THESE PEOPLE WILL BECOME HARDER CRIMINALS IF THEY CAN”T FOLLOW THE BASIC RULES.
