The well-being of our community and the environment is important to us. That is why we’ve partnered with Tidy Towns KZN South Coast on one of their invaluable clean-up projects. Because great minds think alike, Beekman Group aims to work with Tidy Towns on many future initiatives.
Armed with garden tools and spunk, we cleaned up the road verge on Daly Road and the adjoining sidewalk on the R102. Our clean up started from the “Hospital robot” and ended at the Engen garage, where our hard-working volunteers returned the area to its former glory. Overgrown grass, weeds, and accumulated soil were gladly tossed out.
Clearing the verge means that road users have fewer visibility obstructions, and pedestrians can comfortably pass by without veering into the road. And the immaculate sidewalk is a pleasure to look at!
