A New Look For Aberdeen

Over the past few months a big change has come over Andries Pretorius Street as you drive into Aberdeen. If you are driving at the recommended speed of 60kms per hour, you will easily observe how many houses and businesses have been restructured and repainted, curbs have been built by the municipality, and now the garage has a magnificent new roof over the petrol pumps. As the garage is the first business you see as you drive in, it bodes well for the rest of the town, and we hope this “new look” will spread throughout Aberdeen. Congratulations Tinie Appel.
