Kudos to you on this, I commute the same route most days and the worse part of that route is just before the Old Biscuit Mill, coming from Town, where that rustic furniture business is... There is always a Bakkie Parked in the road on the bicycle lane, and tables in the road as well...

 

Well done on this effort on your part though, will log the complaint, soon enough...

Coming to think of it on weekends i have the same problem in that stretch, every weekend without fail a Mr Chip bakkie parks in the cycle lane!!

“How many places in CT are not valued at over R1 million right now? And if you‚ like me‚ are a tenant in a vastly overpriced flat with a prepaid meter‚ you’re going to pick up that additional cost‚ not the landlord. This is not okay. Please go and object‚ everyone!”

So the DA is slapping a R250 per month wealth tax on all who lives (own or rents) in a property worth 1 million rand or more. Next year it will be R300 per month and will increase substantially every year.

WTF for.......I pay rates and taxes according to the valuation on my properties,why must I now pay something else?BS

That same blue bakkie, the Mr Chips van and those Flower Warehouse vans all parked in the bike lane every day

I last rode past Flower Warehouse in business hours about a year ago. I see they haven't changed their habit since then.

It's the additional power levy.

I apologize maybe it is a bit off track seemingly, but it is very relevant to the heading.

Agreed, probably good for its own topic, would probably get some good debate around it with more input.

Flip this works

 

I post an issue on twitter and get the typical CT reply of report to whomever, I then copy the Twitter link and use it on the link that was posted by the OP.

 

Posted this one yesterday, and received a phone call a few moments ago asking for final clarification as they are on site and looking for the bollard and pot hole.

 

I am keeping  a spreadsheet with the ref. no., brief description and date posted so that I can keep track of Service Requests....see below the ref for the item above

How about reporting that square hole that signals the end of the steep bit of Suikerbossie a few metres past the middle bus stop/pedestrian crossing? I'll cut the overhanging bushes in return.

Time to get the loppers out, I guess. Can I invite the press?
