Do you have a well maintained verge? Know of someone who does? Do you feel that it is worth showcasing? If so, the Municipality welcomes you to enter it into the Municipal Verge Competition 2013.
The competition is aimed at acknowledging residents who maintain and improve the look of their verges, streetscapes and suburbs. This also contributes to greening the city, allowing eThekwini to be recognised as a “Clean and Green” South African City.
To take part in the competition, all you need to do is submit a recent photograph as well as a short motivation why this verge has improved the street.
Submit the motivation and photograph to Charles.Ambrose@durban.gov.za or hand-deliver to Parks, Leisure and Cemeteries Department office at 70 St Thomas Road, Durban (Botanic Gardens).
You can also send an MMS to 083 288 8790. Be sure to include the address of the proposed verge, the name and contact details of the resident (if possible), and indicate whether it is a residential house, town house, complex, or industrial area.
The closing date for the submission of entries is 27 September 2013 and the awards will be announced on Tuesday 22 October.
