YOUR NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH NEEDS YOU!
Har-Lyn needs more daytime patrollers, a task ideal for retirees or those who work from home and want to be proactive about crime. Night patrols need more patrollers too, but our day patrols have a few gaps that need filling.
REQUIREMENTS:
• Over 18 years of age
• Live in the area
• No criminal record
• Available to do a 2 hour patrol per week
• Have transport – bike, scooter or car
HAR-LYN OFFERS:
• 10 hours training (5×2 hours) over 5 weeks with veteran patrollers
• Safety in numbers
• Solution and insight to crime – eyes and ears
• Team work in a supportive environment
• All basic patroller equipment
NO patroller is asked to put themselves at risk and we have solid back-up from armed responses in the area.
If you are interested please contact Penny Owens on 072 252 8571 or email secretary@harlynwatch.org.za
The City invites you to a public participation meeting on developments planned for the new MyCiTi bus route along Imam Haron Road. This will shed light on what the community will be dealing with as our public transport is improved.
15 November 2022 – Claremont Library Hall – 2pm to 7pm
A reminder about the upcoming Annual General Meeting of the three Harfield Village civic associations:
~ Harfield Village Association (residents & heritage),
~ Friends of Harfield Parks (greening), and us,
~ Harfield Village Community Improvement District (safety)
We tend to overlap and collaborate on a number of issues, so it makes sense that we combine our AGMs.
Please note that the venue is the same as last year, which is different to previous years.
*Please remember to report any areas of concern to the City *
