It further agreed that all committee members will assist with maintenance and infrastructure issues. Photographs where possible should be taken and sent to Shirley who will compile these and follow up with the municipality.

Shirley will write to Kat Myburgh requesting that road signs be upgraded although poles are often stolen.

It was noted that the signage at Pearly Beach needs to be corrected. At present the signage indicates that the beach is Castle Beach, which is incorrect. This is a long outstanding issue and needs to be rectified as soon as possible.

A request for a generator for water supply during load shedding has been added to the IDP for the next financial year. Jason agreed to motivate by sending a letter to the mayor.

The committee approved a payment of R1000 to Ronel Smuts for the mural she painted at the entrance to our village.

There is still a huge problem with rubbish around the village. It was suggested that workers should be employed on a casual basis to clean up.

With nothing further to discuss, the meeting was closed at 10h30. The committee will be advised when the next meeting will take place. This is likely to be in June.
