Florida South Residents Association is continuing their clean-up streak, tackling various hotspots and problem areas on a nearly daily basis.

According to chairperson Rodney Churchyard, the team will continue their mission as long as the need exists.

“We keep pushing no matter what,” he says.

Churchyard and his small team of workers recently tackled Albertina Sisulu Drive, where overgrowth along the kerbs has resulted in this stretch of road becoming ever more dangerous.

“We literally see the sidewalk encroaching on the road surface.

“These basic maintenance tasks are simply not done effectively by the entities, and we cannot sit back while the situation just deteriorates further.”

Churchyard has renewed his call to community members for assistance in keeping Florida clean.

“It is not a secret that the only people we can rely on to keep our neighbourhoods clean are ourselves.

“No one is going to do it for us.

“We urge residents to come out and lend a helping hand when they can.

“Just keep your sidewalk clean and the grass cut, and keep an eye out for anyone dumping illegally.

“Our neighbourhood has become a hotspot for illegal dumping because people are getting away with it.

“If we all keep an eye out and report illegal dumping, that can result in the perpetrators being caught and brought to book.”
