Last night’s First Thursday outreach in Betty’s Bay was jam-packed with residents voicing their concerns on several issues in the area including road conditions and the cleaning of trenches.

Overstrand Executive Mayor, Dr Annelie Rabie said the purpose of these engagements are the ideal platform for residents to meet with her and the Mayoral Committee as political heads of the respective departments (directorates) as well as the Municipal Manager and Directors on the administrative side who will assist with technical advice.

She once again encourages the community to make time for First Thursdays to ask any question; whether there are situations which make them happy or issues about which they are unhappy; or even have a proposal – First Thursdays is the place to do it.
