THE Pennington Ratepayers’ Association has approached the Umdoni Municipality with an offer to help freshen up the street name signs in its area. The Municipality has provided the paint and Pennington RPA the painters.
“This is not our first effort at co-operating. Last week, we cut back the verges and cleaned up around the railway line and the Council fetched the resulting garden refuse. The concept seems to be working well and we will look to extend it to other activities”, said chairman Fred Stevenson. “We have a fair number of members who have a bit of spare time and are useful with their hands. The street signs are one of the more frequent gripes in towns like Pennington – everybody from holiday-makers to the police and delivery businesses needs them so it’s in our own interests to keep them in shape”. |
