Leisure Bay Ratepayers’ Association is making headway
The Works in Port Edward is offering a discount for Leisure Bay residents up to the end of May.
Since Leisure Bay Ratepayers’ Association (LBRA) launched the project entitled ‘Paradise – My Leisure Bay’, just over a 100 photos showing off the village have been submitted. Photos don’t need to be current – old and historical photos can also be interesting, but remember to submit photos in JPG format and not PDF. Please send all photos to jgillham@telkomsa.net.

Tuesday is refuse collection day and if bags are placed out before the time, the wind and monkeys make the situation a lot worse. A solution is to install a monkey puzzle bin. The Works in Port Edward is offering a discount for Leisure Bay residents up to the end of May. Contact Terry at The Works at 072 3460585 or 039 3113773.
In terms of the municipal bylaws, a maximum of five bags of household and garden refuse may be put out.
LBRA fully supports the clear bag system and encourages residents to separate recyclables and make use of the clear bags. Direct any enquiries to yandisamhlamvu@rnm.gov.za.
The South Coast Herald recently published a damning front page article entitled ‘Licensing centre is a ‘nightmare’. Subsequent articles, ‘Letters to the Editor’ and social media messages highlighted the chaotic state of this department. LBRA made a statement regarding this ineffective and frustrating RNM department which negatively affects and impacts on the community of Leisure Bay. A communication was sent to RNM senior officials and councillors regarding continued unacceptable service despite various so-called turnaround strategies that were supposed to have been implemented. The association received a response from RNM’s public safety’s head of department Sibusiso Nzimande, stating the department was “doing everything possible to remedy the situation as speedily as possible”.
Leisure Bay Conservancy will hold an Open Gardens Weekend on June 16 and 17. There are four gardens and R30 per ticket includes a visit to all four over the weekend. For further information visit www.leisurebay-conservancy.co.za or email leisurebay123@gmail.com.
