On 30th November 2021 we had a meeting with Riad Davids, the new Councillor for Ward 53.
The purpose of the meeting was to discuss a working arrangement between the Thornton Ratepayer & Residents Assoc. and the Councillor.
We have agreed to meet monthly where he will provide updates on the developments in Thornton.
The updates will be:
1. posted on our Facebook group, https://www.facebook.com/groups/1654281454880972
2. posted on our website
3. emailed to our members.
Where possible, general public meetings will be arranged.
The Councillor has been in training, Mayco positions were still being finalized and the position of the Councillor’s assistant was also not yet finalized.
He was therefore not in a position to provide detailed feedback at this point in time regarding ongoing issues.
As for the wall on Viking Road, neither Sub Council nor the Councillor was informed by the City about the wall. He will make enquiries about it.
Just a reminder that TRRA membership is R50pa.
