Parks and Gardens Section A-Z

Tasks

Ashtrays (outdoor)

Ashtrays that are not mounted on the walls of the buildings are emptied by the gardeners.
Other ashtrays are emptied by the estates facilities.

Benches and fittings

The Parks and Gardens Section are responsible for purchasing benches, garbage bag stands and other equipment. Garbage bag stands will be checked daily and emptied as required. It is the intention that all equipment is kept well maintained and clean and thus invites people to use it.

Bicycles

Bicycle parking is permitted in all the designated areas. Bicycles parked outside these areas will inconvenience other activities, such as lawn mowing, snow clearing, sweeping and passing in general. Once or twice a year, the bicycle parking areas will be inspected to dispose of any abandoned bicycles.

Bicycles may only be locked to bicycle racks. Any bicycles locked to other fittings or equipment will be removed.
