Blocked drains a worry

Shariefa Job from the Good Party raised her concerns about the DA-led City’s service delivery, stating, “The majority of the drains in Salt River and Woodstock are clogged with dirt.”

Job says in most instances you find either missing drain covers or dirt filled drains.

She says blocked drains have a detrimental impact on our already overloaded sewerage system.

“The City must come clean-up the drains.

“It is an eyesore.”

“It’s only now when its election time when I see them cleaning the streets.

“After the elections you don’t see them.”

Sedick Soeker, Chairperson of the Woodstock Steering Committee says vagrants are using the drains as storing space.

” I once saw a man climbed inside a drain.”

In a recent statement, the City has called on residents  to refrain from dumping objects in the sewer network
