May 2010 be a successful year for Sunninghill

The Sunninghill Community would like to wish all its members a very healthy, prosperous and safe 2010.

2010 is going to be a busy year for us all and brings with it many challenges, for our community and for our Country.  The economy, maintaining and improving our safety and security and working to improve the service delivery from Council we battled with so much last year. 

Sunninghill Community has many plans for our suburb and hope to make a difference in 2010 by:

• Putting a lot of effort into beautification and infrastructure improvement. Due to poor service delivery our suburb over the past year has been looking particularly unkept.  We will put pressure on Council and where we don’t succeed we hope to take on projects ourselves with the help of increased membership in the area.
• Security is always high on the priority list and we hope to increase the number of live monitored CCTV cameras around the area in conjunction with our network of dedicated patrol vehicles.  Although our crime has decreased as a result of our work in this area over the past two years, we can always improve.
• Sunninghill Community has submitted a proposal to Council to take control of the land next to the Sunninghill Village Shopping centre and hope to erect on this land a community centre for the use of those who live and work in our suburb.  A clinic, sports facilities and a venue in which to hold AGM’s, Sector Police meetings and educational upliftment of our people are but some of the visions for this should our application be approved.
• Another area we are looking at is the cleaning up and upgrading of the Sandspruit River area between Sunninghill and Paulshof.  This is a gem that is not being utilized and will, once cleaned and upgraded provide much sort after recreation area for a section of Sunninghill which has no public open spaces.
   
  As you can see our Ratepayers Association faces many challenges this year, but they are exciting and will be rewarding challenges and we have no doubt we can succeed in achieving the above with the support of the residents and businesses in Sunninghill.  Those willing to join us in our quest for a better Sunninghill can contact us on 011 234-3888 or suncommunity@iafrica.com or security@suncomm.co.za
