Message from the Committee:
Now that SAPRA has successfully restructured itself successfully the focus for 2010 is to consolidate our position and further raise our profile. A residents association is only as strong as the number of households it represents. Although we have a loyal following our numbers remain low – only one in four households paid their membership fees in 2009. |

Security Issues:
ADT reports that crime statistics show that the theft of plasma televisions during house burglaries is on the increase. If you buy a plasma television, do not leave the empty box on the pavement with your garbage bags. Cut the box up and dispose of the pieces inside a black bin bag. You should take the same precaution with the purchase of similar electronic appliances.
- If you are approached by corrupt Metro police officers please report the incidents on the Anti-Corruption number 0800 203 71 and help fight this scourge.

SAPRA Achievements 2009 to 2010 |
|
SAPRA is made up of a group of local residents who represent the interests of the residents in Saxonwold and Parkwood. Our primary function is to assist and deal with local problems experienced, which generally is the adherence and enforcement of by-laws - examples include ensuring that building regulations (by-laws and heritage) are adhered to, or that advertisers comply with council requirements when they advertise. However, this is not where our role ends and SAPRA has a long tradition of adopting a pro-active approach and will tackle challenges of all sizes – from street cleaning right up to participating and influencing the layout of the proposed Bus Rapid Transport (BRT) in our suburbs. SAPRA is effective because of the dedicated efforts of the committee members, the network it has built over the years which allows it to address issues with the relevant party and access to the local councillor who sits on the committee. |
