It's almost time for First Thursdays again!

The October First Thursday meeting in Stanford was cancelled due to the recess. The meeting will, however, go ahead on the first Thursday of November (3 November) from 17:00 - 19:00 in the Stanford Community Hall in Bezuidenhout Street.

No appointment is needed to meet Mayor Annelie Rabie and her Mayoral Committee Members, as well as the Municipal Manager, Dean O'Neill, and all the Directors.

Residents are most welcome to raise issues that they are encountering or to express their concern about service delivery challenges.

Sessions are kept brief in order to accommodate as many people as possible and will be conducted on a first come, first serve basis.
