Nothingreally achieved.Govern George:Majority Council, no coalitions needed.Significant number of new Councillors bringing freshperspective.Party political agenda not a constituency agenda.Self-serving Councillors in positions of powerCadre deployment (jobs for the party faithful).General Comments:Focus on power, not people.High level of ignorance and incompetence within council.Unsustainable concentration of resources in non-revenuegenerating areas.Over the last 3 – 4 years we have put a lot of time and energy into the IDP process, yet our diligence has yet to be rewarded.Every year we go through the same process of reinventing the wheel, and every year the Council ignores what we have tosay. Perhaps we could save some money, time and effort by actually using what has been produced before. In a nutshell,Ward 4 and Wilderness in particular has been largely treated as a source of revenue for the Municipality, without receiving a nequitable share of services delivered. Municipal infrastructure in our Village has been generally neglected, resulting in ashabby appearance that is counterproductive to our only industry – Tourism. Roads throughout the Ward are in serious needof rebuilding. A single major project was undertaken in Sands Rd, which has subsequently been spoiled by th e need to rip upnewly laid paving. This paving is still piled at the side of the road many months later. Town Planning is more attuned toadvising developers how to get around their regulations rather than enforcing them, which has resulted in a number ofinappropriate developments.In conclusion, whenever we ask for the simplest thing to be done, we are always told there is no budget, yet we only have todrive through George properly to see that there is money available, and where it is all being spent.WARD DEVELOPMENT NEEDSTable 6.23: Ward 4 SWOT ProfileThe development needs identified in Ward 4 are summarised in the table below:Focus AreaDevelopment needsMunicipal servicesWater & SanitationElectricity• Water networks rehabilitation.• Sewerage networks rehabilitation.• Electrical networks rehabilitationRefuse RemovalRoads & Storm waterPage | 95
