VANDALISM SPEED HUMPS A number of walls, road signs, streetlights, sidewalk kerbs and electricity kiosk boxes were deliberately vandalised by unknown persons. This behaviour is unacceptable and the Estate Manager intends to take strong action against offenders. Security was instructed that Malicious Damage to Property cases are to be opened at the SAPS and that offenders must be arrested and charged. It is dangerous for children to play with the electronic kiosk boxes. City Council was contacted and a list of open kiosk boxes was given to them. Council undertook to assist us in the locking of these boxes. Kindly note that additional speed humps will be installed in the new extension of Thatchfield Hills. City Council was also approached to assist in the installation of additional speed humps in Brakfontein Road between Riverview and Thatchfield Glen. The council did a survey with regard to traffic calming measures and will assist as soon as funds are approved. We appeal to residents to report instances of vandalism directly to the Estate Manager. Let’s stand together and keep Thatchfield free of vandalism. SPEEDING & RECKLESS DRIVING IN THATCHFIELD The speed limit in the estate is 30km/h. All roads within the estate are the property of The City of Tshwane and therefore all regulations pertaining to the National Road Traffic Act must be adhered to. Please obey road signs. Speeding and reckless or negligent driving cost lives. Residents are again reminded that setting off fireworks in any residential development is prohibited. Please report any incidents to the local council (Metro Police or SAPS). Residents are reminded that the security personnel are not in a position of authority when it comes to council regulations. The duty manager will request the responsible party to refrain from such acts, but all incidents must be reported to the local authorities and record of these reports should be kept. pg 12 Thatchfield News
