The month of June brought a mix of planned precinct maintenance and rapid-response clean-ups in Bridge City. Thanks to the consistent efforts of the Green Africa team, the area remained well-kept despite challenging weather conditions and seasonal vegetation changes.
Litter Collection and Landscape Care
Green Africa collected a total of 450 bags of litter over the month, with teams systematically cleaning verges, sidewalks, and key public areas. Ongoing weeding of retaining walls and verge maintenance formed part of their regular schedule, while several gardens and islands around the precinct were also replanted to restore aesthetic appeal in areas with poor growth.
Quick Action After the Wind Storm
Earlier this month, a strong wind storm left its mark across the precinct, uprooting trees and scattering debris. The Green Africa team responded swiftly, clearing roads and pavements, removing large branches, and sweeping scattered waste to ensure safety for pedestrians and motorists. Any damage or faults were immediately logged with the relevant municipal departments for follow-up.
Cleaning the iQola Road Bridge Area
A key focus area this month was the clean-up beneath the iQola Road bridge—an area known to be both a litter hotspot and a concern for community safety. With the site now cleared, the Bridge City Management Association will work closely with the Area-Based Management (ABM) unit to expand these clean-up efforts into adjacent spaces requiring attention.
Reporting Faults Helps Everyone
Residents and property stakeholders are reminded that suspected water or sewer leaks can and should be reported via the precinct’s online fault-reporting platform. Prompt reporting helps prevent further damage and supports faster municipal responses.
The team remains committed to maintaining a high standard of cleanliness and safety as we move deeper into winter, preparing for the transition into spring.
