Missing Dog

Thu, 19 Dec 2013 15:46:00 +0200

Hi Farrarmere residents

One of our residents pekenese female dog managed to get out of their
property in Bayley Street around 10 this morning.

Two ladies in a white vehicle picked her up but they were unable to attract
their attention, and obviously their intentions were good.

The resident has contacted the SPCA and the local vets, to no avail.

If you happened to kindly pick up this pet, please make urgent contact with
us, as there is a very unhappy little girl.

Many thanks

Painting street numbers/Unsolicited compost sales

Mon, 16 Sep 2013 10:35:06 +0300

Hi Farrarmere residents****

** **

Please be aware of the following:****

** **

There is a young couple going around the Farrarmere area offering to paint
your street number on the pavement. Whilst we are under the impression
that they are just trying to make a living, we have had a report today that
they are being a bit stroppy with residents. It should be noted that this
has not been sanctioned by ourselves or, to the best of our knowledge, any
authorities. It is not compulsory and it is purely up to you if you want
them to do this.****

** **

There are also people in a dark green Nissan Hardbody double cab bakkie
3.2D reg nr. YRV 785 GP (photo attached) selling compost and are perceived
to be a security risk to the neighbourhood.****

Similar incidents where they sprinkle compost on your lawn & demand payment
have been observed. If one resists or refuses to pay, they can get annoyed
and at times become quite hostile!****

** **

Please report any problems in this regard to the Control Room on 0861 425
493 or 011 425 4933.****

** **

Let’s work together to keep our suburb safe.****
