Volunteers from Racecourse Neighbourhood Watch and their families devoted their Saturday morning to clean up rubbish left by vagrants in the park in Aandblom Road in Durbanville, adjacent to Durbanville Primary School.

“Regular patrols of the area are also conducted to maintain the safety of our residents,” says Owen Fair of the neighbourhood watch. “A cleaner neighbourhood is a safer one,” he says.

The volunteers who took part in the clean-up are (from left) Owen Fair, De Wet and Mirieke Raubenheimer, Charl du Plessis, Cathy Pretorius and Geoff Snyders, chair of Racecourse Neighbourhood Watch. In front are Lilly and Olivia du Plessis and Johan Mathee, vice-chair.

The neighbourhood watch members also presents walkabouts on Wednesdays from 18:00 with their children and pets through the neighbourhood to patrol the area by foot. “Anyone is welcome to join the walkabouts,” Fair invites.

The area of the neighbourhood watch stretches from Tindale Road to Suikerbos Way up to High Street, including The Paddocks, The Durbanville Bowling Club, Hollywoodbets Durbanville Racecourse and Onze Molen as far as St. John’s Road.
