Join Ratepayers - for Strength in Numbers

- PARA Committee -

At the most recent committee meeting several matters were discussed, the main one being the fact that certain members of the Municipal Council were trying to have a vote of no confidence passed against the Municipal Manager. Why this should happen is very worrying as by all accounts the Municipal Manager is doing a very good job. More on this matter elsewhere in the Friend. Other concerns that the committee intends handling with a view to positive results, were also listed.

Prince Albert Ratepayers Association (PARA) Chairperson André Jaquet and two other committee members, André Goosen and Johan Senekal, met during March with the Municipal Manager, Ms Fortuin, to discuss certain aspects of service delivery. “As a non-political group of residents, we wanted to express our concerns to the Council through the correct channel. We have done so to the Municipal Manager who answered some of our concerns and promised to look into others,” he said.
