Dear Residents of Harfield Village, The HVCID, Friends of Harfield Parks, and the Harfield Village Association are calling on you all to help us keep our Village clean. This coming weekend is Heritage weekend and it would be wonderful if you could come outside your homes and help clean the streets where you live. It would be amazing if you could then head to the Police Station area, a Park or any area you have noticed which needs some litter removal and care.  Please take pictures of your efforts, bags of rubbish collected and send them to me, post them on social media and tag the HVCID, FoHP and HVA. Let’s do this Harfield Village! Names of those for the best clean ups and bags of rubbish collected will go into a draw for superb prizes! On Heritage Day, Sunday 24th September, we are organising our first Harfield Village 5km fun run/walk. We need volunteers to please help us Marshall from 8.45 – 10am. Please let me know if you can help us. Jen 081 412 6109 ????  A reminder: If you are the unfortunate victim of a crime or attempted crime, no matter how small, please take note of as much detail as possible and open a case at SAPS, as soon as you can. The quicker you go to SAPS, the easier it is to hopefully apprehend and arrest the suspect/s. Take note of the vehicle registration, colour, make, model, number of occupants, gender of occupants, location and what direction they are travelling in. Give a comprehensive description of the individual/s (E.g. W/male wearing red hoodie with a green bag and white takkies.) And please WhatsApp me the case number on 081 412 6109. The HVCID Crime Alert WhatsApp Group is a no-chat group used to alert us to current crimes and suspicious activities in the Village. It is monitored by Fidelity ADT and our Armed Response Officers. If you would like to join the Group please send me an email on admin@hvcid.co.za Vacant homes, buildings and pieces of land are attracting criminality into our area. This includes residential and industrial property. Please log your concerns and complaints on the link below. Go to the safety and security category and log the property concerned. Also call SAPS and alert them and your Private Security Providers, so they can do regular checks. Our 2 dedicated F-ADT vehicles are also doing patrols in Harfield Village every day. https://eservices1.capetown.gov.za/coct/wapl/zsreq_app/index.html#/create |
