Leila’s Lane: Double de-light in Tweni? Not so fast…

The RNM electrical department could not repair the light on the corner of Third Avenue and Ambleside road so the solution was to attach a second light fitting to the pole on the bridge over the railway line.

There was such good weather this past weekend  that many people came out to enjoy themselves in Umtentweni, which is all well and good as long as you do’?t break the bylaws.

A huge round of applause to Saps for its prompt response when called to a couple of incidents, including one of drinking on a public footpath where five people were arrested, as well as a complaint of excessive noise at the Whale Deck on Sunday night.

Locals and visitors are more than welcome to visit the whale deck but remember that it is in a residential area and as such, be very considerate of how your actions impact on the beautiful, peaceful suburb.

Janette Hansen reported that she found a new pack of snail bait in her yard, something that she no longer keeps.

If you see anything on the verge outside your house which you did not put there, pick it up and throw it away.

People are finding cold drink bottles after an attempted or positive break in – could be coincidental or simply someone littering.

Now that the bottle stores are allowed to open, people think they have the licence to drive drunk.

It’s a scary to be a pedestrian or a fellow driver.

There is a lactating black Labrador which has taken to scrounging for food in the black garbage bags in Commercial Road.

She is very hungry and is becoming careless with regards to vehicles. If she is yours you do not deserve to have a beautiful dog like her – there is a very real chance that she may be knocked over.

Ugu water bills are outrageous with some as high as R110,000.

Ugu should be looking for a good proofreader before sending them out.

Beach ablution blocks up and down the coast are in a sorry state, from stolen pipes to vagrancy. RNM needs to treat this as a matter of urgency.

Think of the health hazard once the beach goers really come out to play, people will be using the Admiralty reserve or little corners of buildings to relieve themselves.

Tweni beach ablution block has been without water since a burst pipe on August 12.If we have dedicated departments within the RNM why can they not do the job properly in the first place.

The RNM electrical department could not repair the light on the corner of Third Avenue and Ambleside road so the solution was to attach a second light fitting to the pole on the bridge over the railway line.

Yes, the car park is now well lit, but the intersection is not. I wonder what qualifications are required when applying for some of the municipal jobs.
