July has been a productive month for the Ballito UIP as we continue to focus on keeping our precinct clean, green, and well-maintained. Here’s a detailed update on the various initiatives and projects our teams have undertaken over the past month.
Promenade Upgrades: Varnishing Benches and Repairs
Our team has been hard at work along the Promenade, ensuring that this popular area remains safe and inviting. We’ve completed the varnishing of benches, as well as the repair of planks, posts, rails, and damaged stairways. These upgrades not only enhance the aesthetic appeal of the Promenade but also ensure that residents and visitors can continue to enjoy a safe and pleasant coastal walk.
Pothole Repairs and Infrastructure Improvements
Pothole repairs have been a major focus this month, with our team addressing various areas throughout the precinct to ensure smoother and safer roads. In addition to pothole repairs, we have replaced two manhole covers, with further replacements scheduled for completion in August. These repairs are vital for maintaining road safety and the overall infrastructure of our community.
Revamping Gardens in Lower Ballito CBD
One of our key greening initiatives in July was the revitalisation of six gardens within the precinct, with a particular focus on the lower Ballito CBD. We’ve also been filling up additional garden spaces wherever possible, adding vibrant greenery to our urban landscape. A special thanks goes to Fidelity ADT for their assistance in watering the new gardens during this dry season, helping to ensure that our plants thrive.
Sweeping, Weeding, and General Maintenance
Sweeping, weeding, and general maintenance have been ongoing throughout the month. Our team has been diligently working to keep the precinct clean and tidy, with approximately 3,400 refuse bags used in the process. Grass cutting has also been carried out efficiently, ensuring that all green spaces are well-maintained and presentable.
Looking Ahead
As we move into August, we remain committed to maintaining and improving the Ballito precinct. We will continue with our regular cleaning, greening, and maintenance activities, including the completion of additional manhole cover replacements and further pothole repairs.
We appreciate the continued support of our community and partners. Together, we are making Ballito a safer, greener, and more beautiful place for all.
