Comments From Aberdeen Municipality On Advertiser Articles

1. Mr Clive Kombani stated that the ‘Public Works Department’ would be responsible for clearing the dump site, and for clearing the rubbish distributed through out the area. A bull dozer would also be used to clear the dump site area.
2. Mr Kombani was aware of the broken fencing problem, and said that it would be repaired.
3. The illegal dumping site would be bull dozed and the illegal entrance made by the removal of stolen fencing, would be repaired and closed.
4. The Municipality would open a police docket at the Aberdeen Police Community Centre with regard to the stolen fencing which has been missing since October 2009.The Municipality’s insurance company would be advised that the fencing had been stolen and should be replaced.
5. The resident of Auret and Main Street, who has failed to keep their residence in a clean manner, will receive a letter of complaint from the Aberdeen Municipality. The resident will also be requested to clear their property of rubbish immediately.
6. Water restrictions appear to be assisting the water pressure and water flow in Aberdeen. The spring water or “eye” which is a natural water flow is in the process of being cleaned. This should hopefully result in future ‘lei water’.
7. The area where the large haulage trucks “overnight” is private and not municipal property, and should be maintained and cleaned by the owner.
Hopefully, the above issues will be attended to and resolved.
