The Lonehill Residents Association, established in 1996 is a non-profit organization whose focus is securing the greater Lonehill area including Lonehill East, Beverley and Pineslopes. The Lonehill Residents Association’s responsibility is one of CARE, to continuously improve all aspects of the community in which we live and work, including safety & security and our environment. In Lonehill, the e
mphasis is on ensuring community-based, family lifestyle in stunning surroundings with total peace of mind. Keeping Lonehill safe and secure is of paramount importance to the LRA. We encourage neighbours to look out for each other and for any signs of anything untoward, as caring and information sharing is key to community safety. However, the primary focus on securing our community is entrusted to the Fidelity Security Services Group. FSS is South Africa’s largest security firm which leads the market in providing innovative, value-added, customized security solutions. Working with the LRA, Fidelity provides a comprehensive security service that operates 24/7 from a dedicated control room in Lonehill providing guarding, armed response and electronic surveillance. The LRA also offers an Emergency Medical Response Service to the residents of Lonehill, Beverley & Pineslopes. This service is unique to Lonehill in that an Emergency Medical Response vehicle, manned by Advanced Life Support Paramedics, is stationed in Lonehill 24/7. Because of Lonehill’s small footprint, members are ensured that responses times to their emergency call is under 10 minutes. This essential service is only available to subscribers for a small monthly fee. Another unique service offered by the LRA are two dedicated apps, the mySOS emergency based app and the Lonehill Residents Association app. mySOS is designed to provide assistance in emergency situations. The application provides users with the correct contact information for emergency services, and informs users emergency contacts of their emergency and GPS location. This app is available to use across South Africa and is available free of charge. The LRA app is a communication based app giving users direct contact information for all municipal departments, including Jo’burg Water, Eskom, Jo’burg Roads Agency, City Power, etc. Resident can report water outages, potholes, power outages, etc. directly to the correct municipal department.
