Greater Kokstad Municipality (GKM) wishes to inform members of the public, particularly residents of Gym Payne Street and the management, members and visitors of the Kokstad Golf Club, of anticipated disruptions due to construction activities along Gym Payne Street.

The construction work will be undertaken by SSR Security CC T/A Mahlubi Transport and Plant Hire. As construction activities have commenced near the entrance of the Kokstad Golf Club, access to the facility may be temporarily affected. Residents, motorists and pedestrians in the surrounding area may also experience inconveniences, including restricted access, movement of construction machinery, increased noise levels and possible traffic disruptions.

The municipality therefore urges all affected parties to: exercise caution when approaching or travelling near the construction site; observe temporary road signs and follow instructions from construction personnel; allow additional travelling time where necessary; keep children and pedestrians away from operating machinery; and cooperate with the contractor to ensure public safety throughout the construction period.

Greater Kokstad Municipality sincerely apologises to the residents of Gym Payne Street, the Kokstad Golf Club management, its members and visitors, and all affected road users for the inconvenience these construction activities may cause. The municipality appeals for patience, understanding and cooperation as these infrastructure improvements are undertaken.

Temporary inconvenience today is a necessary step towards improved infrastructure, safer roads and sustainable service delivery for tomorrow. Greater Kokstad Municipality remains committed to ensuring that infrastructure development is carried out with due consideration for the safety and well-being of all affected communities.

Greater Kokstad Municipality Committed to Sustainable Service Delivery.
