AFTER already having to reckon with metal thieves damaging its streetlights in their search for the copper in some cables, City Hall now has to deal with mentally unstable vagrants vandalising these amenities.
THE Public Works Department (PWD) is keeping an eye on the drains in one part of Sipitang and Tanjung Aru, while City Hall is doing the same in residential areas around Kota Kinabalu.
CITY HALL will step up action to maintain the backyard drains and reserves in neighbourhoods around the State Capital to minimise the likelihood of Aedes mosquitoes breeding in the run-off and overgrown grass in these areas.
City Hall is keeping an eye on the streetlights in two neighbourhoods – one in Luyang, the other in Inanam – to ensure that the housing roads in these areas are properly illuminated at night.
CITY HALL has intensified efforts to maintain the drain reserves in neighbourhoods where dengue cases have been reported.
Rate-payers in these areas have also been warned that they could wind up losing any trees or vegetables planted outside their backyard fences, if they failed to tend to their property regularly and allowed this greenery to become overgrown
