🌿 SSNW and Community Creating a Safer Walkway 🌿
During the last week, the Summerstrand Neighbourhood Watch worked on cleaning up the alien vegetation, Port Jackson willows and other overgrowth along the very wide verge between Admiralty Way and Gomery Avenue. This piece of ground had become an “eye sore” and a place for vagrants to hide, with passers-by often being harassed while using the walkway towards the university.
On Saturday, we completed clearing the opposite side.
We have also been in contact with Mr Azola Jakula of the Parks Department, who will be coming to fetch all the cuttings (and there are a lot of them!). We would like to extend our thanks to the Parks Department for their assistance.
These are the contributors from Gomery Avenue / Admiralty Way whom we would like to thank for their contribution and support towards this project:
✔ Helen Weyer (SUMMERLAKE)
Donations:
✔ Nickey Malinga – Summerbreezz (food)
✔ Lisa Henderson – (IBISWOOD)
✔ Kamva Mantshule (TAM STUDENT HOUSING)
✔ Albert Joubert (LEOPARDS PRIDE)
We would also like to give a very special thank you to “Chainsaw” Marshall, whose hard work, skill and dedication were instrumental in making this project a success.
This is another example of what can be achieved when a community comes together to improve safety, visibility and the overall appearance of our neighbourhood. Every project, no matter how big or small, helps make Summerstrand a better and safer place for everyone who lives, works and studies here.
Thank you to everyone who contributed their time, resources, support and encouragement. Your involvement makes these projects possible. 💙
If you are not yet a member of SSNW, now is the time to get involved. Together, we can achieve far more than any one person can alone.
