FROM THE THOA OFFICE
C
omplements of the season to all our residents and their families. We trust
the year will be good to all of you.
There are a couple of issues that are on the increase that we wish to bring
to your attention in order to assist with the running of our estate.
Dogs
There has been an increase in dogs running around the estate unattended. In
most cases the dogs do not have collars and tags, making it difficult to identify
the owner. Too much time is taken up by the guards to identify the owners, taking
them away from their true purpose on the estate. We ask that residents make
sure that their dogs cannot get out of their properties while they are away or at
work, and that the necessary collars and tags be obtained for those dogs that
do not have. We will have no option but to hand the animals over to the SPCA if
we cannot identify the owner
as the estate does not have
the facilities to home them.
Please also note that dogs are
to be kept on leashes in the
common areas and are only
allowed off their leashes in a
designated area on the Road
Reserve. Signs are posted.
Security Issues
We have also noticed an
increase in complaints being
sent through to the office
a day, or days, and in some
instances even months after
something has taken place. We urge residents to please contact the guardhouse
immediately on (011) 608-4361 if witnessing any form of vandalism or suspicious
activity. It is a lot easier to deal with the issue if those culprits are caught in the
act. We also urge residents to call the guardhouse if you suspect something is go-
ing on. We would rather have you report something that turns out to be nothing,
than not report something that turns out to be something
Safety
Other than those issues we experienced a quiet 2017 as far as crime was con-
cerned and were fortunate that no serious crimes were committed within the
estate. We urge our residents to be vigilant when travelling outside the estate
and take note of what is happening around you.
