The foul stench of raw sewage along the beach at the point where the Lourens River meets the ocean is an odour residents, beachgoers and holidaymakers have to contend with for months on end.
A joint initiative to clear the Lourens River and its banks of alien vegetation and litter is gaining momentum, as volunteers from local organisations get ready to roll up their sleeves and get stuck in this weekend.
Strand Neighbourhood Watch invites all members and interested members of the public residing in the area from Lourens River to Hammond Street, and from Beach Road to the N2, to its annual general meeting on Wednesday 16 February.
