Dear Residents,
We hope you are keeping warm and safe as we head into winter.
Please check:
– your alarms and beams are working
– your security cameras are cleaned regularly so that they are effective even in bad weather
– your gutters and drains are cleared before the big rain arrives(well we hope it arrives!)
– your roof for any cracked, loose or damaged tiles, loose screws, kinked or damaged roof sheets, rusting areas on roof sheeting, cracks in waterproofing layers and areas on flat roofs where water can pool
– exterior wallsfor areas that can allow water to penetrate
– your chimney has been swept and your fireplace serviced
– the seals around your windows and close the gaps under doors to keep the cold out
– your outdoor lighting is working properly and is waterproof. Lights improve safety and reduce crime. If your lights are on timers, consider setting these accordingly. Light-sensitive “dusk to dawn” bulbs are a great way to save energy while optimising security lighting and ensuring they are always on when it’s dark.
– your street lights are working out of load shedding times! If they are not, please report them to the City on the eservices site below. If they do not respond, please send me an email with your reference numbers to follow up! You can also use eservices to log broken or missing street signs, potholes, or broken pavements, dislodged paving stones or a road in need of resurfacing, dumping, litter, squatting and more.
