The Somerset West Community Health Centre has put together a new “Who To Call” list for residents. For a printable version of this list, click here.
I had to see it for myself to believe it. After a partial collapse and 17 years of neglect, construction is finally underway to restore Somerset House.
Spring has finally sprung, after nearly two weeks of dreary weather. This means community events have kicked into high gear, and I am seeing so many of you at festivals, AGMs, markets and fundraisers.
Sometimes the solutions we need are right in front of us. That is what I was thinking about when we hosted the amazing team from Operation Come Home two weeks ago.
Many of you have connected with my office in recent weeks about the concerns surrounding the Northwood Clinic on Somerset West and the uptick in public drug use and diversion nearby.
The best part of my job is that I get to learn about so many things all at once. It is also the most challenging. On any given day, I may need to shift gears 10 times, focusing on issues from the seemingly mundane (potholes and garbage collection) to the more profound (how to end homelessness and tackle addiction).
