WESTON, \u2019n informele woon- buurt net buite Hankey, word by die dag vuiler.<\/p>\n
Bekommerde inwoners, wat gereeld hul misnoe\u00eb oor die situasie uitspreek, s\u00ea hulle \u201cverdrink\u201d in vullis en dat di\u00e9 pro-bleem \u2019n groot gesondheidsge-vaar skep. <\/p>\n
Reuse rommelhope, sigbaar van die R330 tussen Humansdorp en Hankey, \u2018stroom\u2019 reeds berg-af, en onwettige stortingsterreine neem ook toe.<\/p>\n
Swartsakke, kartonhouers, blikke, bottels en huishoudelike afval word gereeld daar gestort. Selfs persoonlike dokumente l\u00ea tussen die bosse rond. Voeg daarby bourommel, verrotte boomtakke en tuinvullis.<\/p>\n
\u2019n Weston-inwoner, wat ano-niem wil bly, beskryf die gebied as \u201chaglik\u201d.<\/p>\n
Volgens hom beland die rommel dikwels in stormwaterdreine, wat dit verstop en daartoe lei dat die dreine oorpspoel as dit re\u00ebn. En as die wind waai, is die omgewing \u2019n morsige gesig.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie ander probleem is dat \u2019n mens vandag op \u2019n sekere plek skoonmaak, maar dan is dit die volgende dag net weer met rommel besaai,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n
\u201cKlein kinders speel en krap tussen die rommel rond. Wie weet watter siektes hulle als kan optel? Dit hou beslis \u2019n gesondheidsgevaar in.\u201d<\/p>\n
N\u00f3g \u2019n inwonder s\u00ea: \u201cBene-wens die feit dat die rommel oral rondwaai, bring dit ook rotte, slange en stank na die gebied.<\/p>\n
\u201cHulle gee nie regtig vir ons mense om nie. Iets sal drasties moet gebeur, want ons kan nie aanhou om in sulke haglike omstandighede te woon nie.\u201d<\/p>\n
Volgens inwoners is die rede hiervoor dat Kouga-munisipaliteit maande laas hier skoongemaak het.<\/p>\n
Dit is egter nie net inwoners wat oor die toenemende rommel mor nie.<\/p>\n
\u201cDie vullis langs die pad is onooglik,\u201d s\u00ea \u2019n ontstoke Shelley Rautenbach wat gereeld di\u00e9 pad gebruik. \u201cDie rommelstorting is besig om handuit te ruk. Oral word daar vullis neergestort en daar word net niks daaromtrent gedoen nie \u2013 en di\u00e9 gebied, met al sy aalwyne en plantlewe, kan so \u2019n mooi gesig wees.\u201d<\/p>\n
Sy versoek nou dat die munisipaliteit daadwerklik optree.<\/p>\n
\u201cMaak die gebied skoon, en hou dit skoon. Plaas genoeg munisipale vullishouers uit en verwyder dit ten minste een keer \u2019n week,\u201d s\u00ea sy. <\/p>\n
\u201cEn rehabiliteer die plantlewe: van aalwyne tot spekbome.\u201d<\/p>\n
Volgens haar verdien geen persoon om in sulke vuil omstandighede te leef nie.<\/p>\n
Volgens Kouga portefeulje raadslid vir gemeenskapsdienste, Daniel Benson, is rommelstrooiing en onwettige storting `n uitdaging regoor Kouga en kan slegs in vennoot-skap met die gemeenskap opgelos word.<\/p>\n
\u201cBekende stortingspunte word gereeld skoongemaak, maar is ongelukkig weer gou vol vullis,\u201d s\u00ea hy.<\/p>\n
Volgens Benson is verskeie opvoedkundige- en bewusmakingsveldtogte einde Februarie in Hankey en Weston van stapel gestuur om di\u00e9 probleem aan te spreek. Die veldtog is ook gebruik om inwoners te waarsku dat hulle beboet kan word indien hulle onwettig rommel stort.<\/p>\n
\u201cOns het almal \u2019n verantwoordelikheid om ons omgewing skoon te hou,\u201d s\u00ea Benson. \u201cEk moedig alle inwoners aan om ons te help om Kouga die skoonste munisipaliteit in Suid-Afrika te maak.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
