HOLIDAY MESSAGE FROM THE MAYOR

The holiday season is upon us, offering a chance for many to spend valuable time with loved ones. It has been a challenging year, and it's important to use this period to rejuvenate and set fresh goals for the upcoming year, 2024.

Take time to connect with your neighbours, especially those who may be less fortunate. Simple acts of kindness can make a significant difference. Let's all embrace the spirit of compassion and generosity. Let's also take this opportunity to care for and uplift our community, whether it's volunteering at local shelters, organising donation drives, or participating in community clean-up initiatives.

Keep an eye out for any suspicious activities in your neighbourhood and promptly report them to your Neighbourhood Watch or local authorities. Let's all contribute to making our neighbourhoods a better and safer place for everyone.

If you plan to travel, it's advisable to conduct a thorough vehicle check to ensure its roadworthiness. Stay vigilant, adhere to the traffic regulations, and, while using your car, avoid leaving valuable items visible. Always secure your vehicle by locking it and keeping the windows rolled up. Remember, it's crucial not to drink and drive.

I extend warm wishes for a joyful holiday and a prosperous, blessed New Year to all our residents.

Please prioritise your safety and wellbeing.

Ald. SW van Eeden

Executive Mayor
