Retaining walls and access improved at 58 properties

Executive  Mayor of George,  Leon van Wyk and Portfolio Councillor for Human Settlements and George Municipal officials visited a home in Preekstoel Street, Blanco where the Directorate of Human Settlements has  improved access to the property. A retaining wall has been built and  the Directorate did earth moving, installed gutters and downpipes to channel and to re-route run-off during rainfall. Similar work to improve access and build retaining  walls has been completed at another 58 properties in Rosedale, Touwsranten and Blanco since the start of the current financial year. Each property was assessed and dealt with to ensure suitable solutions and to alleviate problem areas.
