A LIDO resident and another from Kepayan have voiced their displeasure about the tendency of certain parties to deal with the overgrown greenery on their housing roads – or the silt inside their drains – only to leave the remnants from this work behind.
A Taman Fortuna consumer was unhappy about the garden waste lying in the common area in front of his house. A Sabah Electricity Sdn Bhd contractor apparently pruned the branches of trees growing near the power lines in this part of the neighbourhood towards the end of June. More than two weeks had since elapsed and only some of the trimmings had been removed, according to him.
Both individuals decried these maintenance efforts as being “half-hearted”. They provided Hotline with the pertinent information – including the location of these irregularities – which was forwarded to SESB and City Hall. A spokesman for the former said a check of its records showed that the transmission lines in Taman Fortuna were cleared of foreign objects – including any creepers or branches which had extended into the air space of these cables – on June 27.
“We received a letter from the agency about this matter last week.” A worker is seen near the pruned trees along this road in Taman Fortuna shortly after this greenery was cut last month. She said many homeowners were under the impression that City Hall was to blame for such lackadaisical efforts to clear their drains, since they paid rates to the agency to look after these structures.She explained that the firm was responsible for cleaning the drains along housing roads in the State Capital, while the agency attended to those behind residences under its jurisdiction.
