Heléne | No I am not | Excessive electricity bills. We need to pay a private contractor to deliver water, remove our rubble, cut grass on the pavements. Volunteers are cleaning the main streets but there is no follow through from the municipality. People dump their trash right under the board that state there will be a fine for illegal dumping. It is now six months since the dumping is there with no follow up. The legal dumping site is a nightmare. Not only for residents to go there, the employees but also for the poor people that goes there to look for some source of income. What happened to all the promises? | This is still platteland and near the bush. And all the new developments that creates more jobs. | Communication from all parties and agreed and followthrough of decisions. | |
William | Brackenhurst | No I am not | Takes too long to repair water leaks and assist with issues. Potholes don't get fixed in local area. Price increases are high on water and electricity and readings are not always correct, but we have to pay | We look after each other with the security and help the local police fix their vehicles and try to prevent crime in our area | Reduce councilors and ministers, why do we need all these deputy ministers. Action against corruption and support the people your supposed to serve and not your political party |
Sharon | Morningside | No I am not | No street lights at night and pot holes in the roads Driving at night is a hit and miss affair You have to drive and pray It’s almost as bad in the day Robots out at intersections There should be pointsmen at tge big ones Homeless people actually help quite a lot Train them up and give them a job The ANC has got to go | Love the weather I live in a retirement complex People help each other My daughter lives in Waverley Great whatsapp groups where people connect with each other and help each other and share their expertise Lots of beautiful trees which I enjoy a lot If the COJ was run by The DA coalition we would be living in a stunning wirld class city The ANC has run it into the ground | Vote for the DA or another party Your life will be better The ANC has done enough damage |
David | Kensington | No I am not | Filthy streets Running grey water Crime Lawlessness on the roads | Very little at the moment. My friends keep me sane. | |
Debbie | Yes I am | Best run province | The ease of logging a call. Speedy response, CLEAN SUBURB | ||
Rudi | Del Judor Proper | No I am not | Potholes! Water supply Town dirty, sidewalks and parks not cleaned Streetlights | ||
Ursula | Buffalo Flats | No I am not | Gosh - potholes - state of roads, Municipal grounds are not kept. Grass not cut in different areas e.g. pavements, cemeteries, schools. Illegal dumping is just ignored. People in Buffalo Flats claiming grounds to make their backyards bigger and park their trucks, after complaining to the DA and municipality, nothing is being done about it. The man even put a fence around "HIS" new backyard having braais there, kids cant play soccer there anymore. All because Quinton Kenny has connections in "HIGH" places. nevermind that he dumps his rubble on that ground too. Absolute failure of BCM and the political parties, shame they must be scared. | At the moment nothing. Electricity costs a fortune, everything is expensive, politicians and business people are just seeing to themselves and most are corrupt. the rich are getting richer and the poor becoming poorer. | just give another political party a chance to take over...don't wait till everything collapses. |
David | Glenferness | No I am not | With the DA back in charge now, things should improve but it is impossible to expect them to fix in a couple months what the ANC has destroyed in 30 years of mismanagement. However we still live in one of then most beautiful countries in the world and we should all work for positive change. | Other than the politicians and criminals, the people. The general inter-racial interaction is cordial, friendly and a great compliment to the people of this country that continue to try and make it great in spite of the total incompetence of the existing government. Let us hope 2024 makes a difference. | |

Nokubonga | Ncandu Park | Yes I am | The municipality of Newcastle is generally well run. | ||
Kim | Kenilworth | Not fully | Pot holes aplenty Broken pavements - more affluent areas like NEwlands and Claremont dont have this issue Pavements that have not been tarred over - left open Open manholes - covers not replaced with plastic covers | Regular dirt collection and road clean ups | x |
Heather | Boksburg | Not fully | resources have not been well managed or maintained in past years, this has led to a deterioration in service delivery and increased crime | there is a strong community engagement and spirit | |
