Cleanup makes positive change in mid-South Coast

For the past few years, community-driven organisations such as Keep Scottburgh Beautiful, Tidy Towns, the Green Team, as well as Pennington and Clansthal conservancies have supported the municipalities’ efforts in maintaining public spaces and inspiring local pride.

Renishaw Coastal Precinct, as well as its Phase One development, Renishaw Hills, are also part of this ongoing drive to reinvigorate the mid-South Coast.

For the past two weeks, this joint initiative has undertaken a massive Scottburgh cleanup, starting with the main road extending from the Dududu off-ramp to the Coconut Village turn-off.

Local workers have been hired for the initial clean-up, with Renishaw Coastal Precinct and Renishaw Hills committed to monthly litter collections and verge cuttings – with more planned for the summer months.

The initial clean-up included collecting more than 20 bags of litter on day one, cutting back and tidying roadside vegetation, grass cutting on verges and invasive alien plant removal.

The team is also providing weekly garden maintenance and watering at the Checkers Circle on Scott Street, signage has been installed and the clock has been repainted.

This is to ensure that Scottburgh looks welcoming to not just the visitors, but locals too.

Scottburgh main beach is considered a key tourism destination and investor asset.

To ensure this remains an attractive focal point, as well as to support the tireless efforts of the lifesavers on duty, Renishaw Coastal Precinct is donating a sun shelter, with plans in place to hire out branded umbrellas at the beachfront for public hire.

The proceeds of this will go towards the efforts of Keep Scottburgh Beautiful.
