Kouga Local Municipality’s latest St Francis road maintenance programme is underway, with stormwater work scheduled to continue through to Friday, 14 August 2026.

The programme, which started on Tuesday, 11 August, covers several roads in the greater St Francis area. Municipal teams are focusing on stormwater maintenance as part of ongoing work to maintain local roads and infrastructure.

St Francis Maintenance Programme

The roads included in this week’s programme are:

  • Tom Brown Boulevard – stormwater maintenance
  • Cayenne Drive – stormwater maintenance
  • Pepper Street – stormwater maintenance
  • Cinnamon Crescent – stormwater maintenance
  • Oyster Row – stormwater maintenance

Work is scheduled to continue until Friday. However, the programme may change according to weather conditions, operational requirements and progress on individual sections.

Residents Encouraged to Report Potholes

Kouga Local Municipality has also encouraged St Francis residents to continue reporting potholes and other road problems.

Reports from the public help municipal teams identify damaged sections and add problem areas to future maintenance programmes.

Residents can report potholes to the Kouga Municipal Call Centre via WhatsApp on 081 760 9183.

Alternatively, residents can contact the municipality by telephone on 042 200 2200.

Stormwater maintenance remains an important part of road upkeep. Effective drainage helps move water away from road surfaces and can reduce damage caused by standing or flowing water.

Motorists travelling through areas where municipal teams are working should remain alert, reduce speed and allow workers sufficient space to carry out the maintenance safely.
