THE Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure Dean Macpherson recently visited the Kloof police station for an oversight and handing over of the rehabilitation work completed following the national department’s intervention. 

Late last year, following many complaints from Kloof residents on the state of the station and requests from the community policing forum on behalf of the residents for rehabilitation measures, Ward councillor Caelee Laing requested assistance from the Minister’s office. 

After a site visit and assessments from the Public Works and Infrastructure department, this request was approved and work started some weeks ago.

Part of the improvements include the replacement of the perimeter fencing, a new gate, paving of the parking lot, repairs to the generator as well as new and improved lighting surrounding the station property. 

“Many residents of the local community and SAPS members have expressed great appreciation for the improvements made and as the ward councillor, I am very grateful that the requests by our residents and the incredibly hardworking Kloof CPF were heard and actioned by our National Public Works and Infrastructure department.”
