When you need to get things done and have to get hold of the City of Joburg to make them happen, having the right contact details at your fingertips can make a big difference.
Elaine Jack, City Improvement District (CID) Manager of Sandton Central Management District (SCMD), explains: “When you see something that needs improving or fixing, by logging it with the city you help take charge of your neighbourhood, and this serves to make it better. We are the eyes and ears of the city and our district.”
Logging your request with the correct department and in the right way helps speed up the results and makes it easier for everyone involved.
Of course, there are times when faster action is needed, or an issue isn’t properly resolved. In this case, it’s the responsibility of the city’s councillors to step in on behalf of residents and to ensure the municipality implements its policies and procedures to address the needs of its citizens. However, it is important to remember, if an issue wasn’t properly logged in the first place, your councillor will not be able to escalate it.
The councillor for Sandton Central is the ward councillor for Ward 103, Vincent Earp. He is available from 8am to 5pm on 079-882-2652 and vearp@iafrica.com.
