These<br \/>\nrequirements, in turn, help to determine how the annual budget of the<br \/>\nmunicipality is allocated. It is, therefore, critical that communities provide<br \/>\ninput as to ensure that the needs of their wards are correctly identified and<br \/>\naddressed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According<br \/>\nto Hendricks, the biggest capital project is the resealing and repair of roads<br \/>\nacross the Kouga region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cApart<br \/>\nfrom the resealing of 12km of road during the 2019\/2020 financial year, more<br \/>\nthan R8 million had been budgeted for the resealing of roads in the current<br \/>\nfinancial year, ending on June 30, 2021, he said. \u201cIt is hoped to secure<br \/>\nadditional funding for the resealing programme in the adjustment budget this<br \/>\nmonth \u2013 allowing us to tackle more roads.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFurthermore,<br \/>\nR9.2 million was spent on gravel road upgrades, while 15 378 potholes were<br \/>\nfixed in 2019\/2020 compared to the 7 785 potholes fixed in 2018\/ 2019. A<br \/>\nfurther 9 720 potholes were fixed from July 2020 to December 2020.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He<br \/>\nsaid that the highest priority in the IDP, and one of the municipality\u2019s<br \/>\ngreatest concern, is the dependence of the informal settlements on the bucket<br \/>\nsystem \u2013 which needs to be eradicated.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUsually,<br \/>\nthe first round of IDP public meetings take place in October and November each<br \/>\nyear,\u201d said Hendricks. \u201cRegrettably, we had to put the meetings on hold last<br \/>\nyear due to the resurgence of positive Covid-19 cases in our region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLockdown<br \/>\nrestrictions on gatherings have, unfortunately, not yet been relaxed. As a<br \/>\nresult, we have had to make alternative arrangements to consult with residents<br \/>\nabout the review.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI<br \/>\nwould like to encourage each and every one of you to take the time and use this<br \/>\nopportunity to voice what you would like to see happening in your ward.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>An<br \/>\nelectronic copy of the IDP is available on the municipal website at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.kouga.gov.za\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.kouga.gov.za<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Comments<br \/>\nand suggestions on the ward priorities can be submitted to the IDP section<br \/>\nheaded by Colleen Dreyer at <a href=\"mailto:idp@kouga.gov.za\">idp@kouga.gov.za<\/a>.<br \/>\nAlternatively, contact Dreyer at 081 760 7245.
