Sick and tired of excuses rather than solutions to Coe, s service delivery. A simple light dip on a Sunday fixing or upgrading a cable take 4hrs, when in the years past it was a 20 min call out, You know why, because it's overtime generating style, the longer we stay in the power station, the more we get paid. No effeciency, No expediting call outs, No regard for the residents.
Typical, water leaks on yards takes 48 hrs respond time but to close the work site its a month.

Because I've reported our street light twice and it has still not been fixed.

Sonja Pretorius (Kempton Park, 2021-02-03)

The state of disrepair of lighting in our city is disgusting.
Wire hanging from poles, poles vandalised & where no physical damage, no working globes.

Louis Jacobs (Alberton, 2021-02-03)

I am tired of paying for a service I do not get and an aged grid that hasn't been maintained. Maybe it is time to take the council to court to have them removed and competent people put in their place

Gavin Schutte (Alberton, 2021-02-03)

Street light outside my property not working. Worked for a short while after I reported it, but now again not working. I stay on a corner so it is dangerous at night.

Robina Gasson (Alberton, Gauteng, 2021-02-03)

We need well kept street lights. Dark areas are unsafe

John Martin (Alberton, 2021-02-03)

Lack of service and maintenance

I’m signing because, street light in the road and surrounding roads are all not working and is a danger to my family and myself.

Vishnu Armugam (Germiston , 2021-02-03)

Criminals are taking advantage of these issues AND if its is a service we are paying for there should not ever be a case of "not a priority" - we are paying in spite of salary decreases - do what you are getting paid to do!

Sharmaine Mari (Edleen, 2021-02-03)

#35

We have had no street lights for months. Despite numerous requests nothing has been done to rectify the situation. Covid cannot be used as an excuse to have no street lights for months on end. It is dangerous for the tax and rate paying residents.

Colleen Shaw (Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#36

I'm signing because no street lights can only be good for thieves not for the community. For the community it is dangerous as then you fall prey to crime!!!

Charmain Peense (Alberton, 2021-02-03)

#37

Our street light is also not working. Even some of our main streets are not working and I feel unsafe when I drive alone at night after work.

Hindy Belstead (Alberton , 2021-02-03)

#41

I'm signing because literally all street lights are not working.
Street lights are a priority . When there are no lights criminals are able to move more freely.
It is a safety risk

Antonia Robinson (Germiston, 2021-02-03)

It is the Governments responsibility to use our tax money correctly. Having Street lights not work is a safety risk.

Cullem McKay (Alberton, 2021-02-03)

We need this issue resolved ASAP due to it been a security viewing problem. Without the street lights it gives intruders the upper advantage!!!

We have a street light at he entrance of our complex and it has not been working for more than a year now, I have stopped logging calls for this

Sonja Jacobs (Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#54

I feel that all our streets are in dire need of the care, and as we have reported and requested on many occasions for the services, we are being totally ignored!
The street light offers us safety and we have been.living like this for many months without being heard!

Storm Landsman (Germiston, 2021-02-03)

The street lights are not working and it is a criminal haven right now. Streets are extremely dark and this is becoming a oroblem as trees are overgrown and criminals have a lit if hiding places.

The street lights are in place and should therefore be maintained and repaired when required. It is also a safety issue when they are not working.

Derick Young (Alberton, 2021-02-03)

As a community patroler and a female the dark streets are a crime haven......
Why is Lambton power always off but during the day all street lights are in absorbing power......

We pay a lot of money for a service we do not receive. And frankly getting tired of being forced to pay or we get cut off. Its disgusting and disgraceful

Dina De Carvalho (Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#130

Would you pay for a service where you don't receive what you paid for?

Tania Badendiek (Alberton, 2021-02-03)

#131

Street lights are always an issue and never fixed despite being escalated to management. In fact all service deliveries in our area is an issue. Workers don't take pride in their work anymore! Bribery is always expected that's why our country is in such a disaster.

Because it's not safe when the street lights are not working, it's an opportunity for criminals to do their bad deeds without being noticed

Takalani Ndala (Germiston , 2021-02-03)

#152

I would like to feel safe in the area I love. Without the lights we are targeted by thieves at our own homes. The light make it easier for me to see what happening. Infront of my home I have the Simmer and Jack waste disposal dump big holes in the wall the thieves sit and watch and use that as an escape. It's so dark at night that the works cant see when these people appear through the hole to rob them. The hard earn wages. This is not far that we all fall victim to these thrives. Please we need assistance.

LEE-ANN Du Plooy (GERMISTON , 2021-02-03)

Lorraine Webber (Germiston, 2021-02-03)

#173

Our community is always in darkness and it seems that the ANC led municipality does not care about the residents of this community, if it's not the street lights then it's the area outages due to lack of maintenance and service delivery as we are alot of the times left in darkness for days and are expected to pay for a service that is non existent not to mention sanitation department not doing their jobs properly. There are too many issues to mention but this petition focuses on street lights thag need to be urgently fixed.

Fabian Shunmoogam (Germiston , 2021-02-03)

The total lack of services, including fixing street lights, is atrocious. Why and for what am I paying taxes on my property?? Yesterday our rubbish was not even collected. Something else that we pay for on a weekly basis, but never get a refund if rubbish is not collected.

The coe has no interest in doing what they are paid to do. Would rather pocket money than spend it on essential service. 1 being community security.
I don't understand why converting to solar lights is no no. Save a bomb on electricty and maintenance.

This service is going from bad to worse.
Streetlights are on during daytime and wasting our taxpayers money. And in the meantime Ekurhuleni and Eskom expected from us to pay very high increases each year for wasted energy.
