"There are TWO major determinants of community safety. One is how many neighbours we know by name. The other is how often we are present and associated in public - outside our houses. Police activity is a minor protection compared to these two community actions.

SECURITY ALERT:
The PNRA does not support the trolley recyclers who rummage through our Pikitup bins on a Monday morning.
The reasons for this are twofold:
1. SAPS Parkview has warned us that there is often a criminal element amongst the trolley recyclers, and that house-breaking implements have been found hidden amongst the trash in the trolleys.
2. The trolley recyclers favour the banks of the spruits around our area, to do their recycling. The rubbish that they do not want, gets dumped in and around our waterways - simply compounding the pollution problem.
