Ministry plans to alter ward boundaries
Combined Harare Residents Association (CHRA)
July 27, 2004

The Ministry of Local Government, Public Works and National Housing intends to carve up Harare again, this time reducing its wards from 45 wards to 44 wards. The "reduction" is being complimented by the proposal to add other areas into Harare, notably Whitecliff. (read advertisment)

We have in the past raised questions about the incoperation of areas outside Harare City Council boundaries, particularly with regards Whitecliff. The concern has been raised on the basis that these areas would increase the burden on service provision for the city, without giving due regard to the problems that the city is already facing. Unless these areas are incoperated into the city and local residents make a financial contribution to the running costs of the city, they should not enjoy political representation on Council.

Our records show that the advert has been posted twice this month, that is, on 5 July and on 19 July. If you know of any other advert placed between these dates please let us know. Residents are required to send in objections within 30 days of the third publication of the advert.
