Top 10 ward committee priorities

Meetings were held with each of the 12 municipal ward committees between 24 October 2022 to 3 November 2022.

The ward committees used a prioritisation model (MS Excel) to determine the top 10 priorities of the ward based on the scoring of each ward committee member. Using the same Excel model, the top 10 priorities of all the wards was determined by totalling the individual ward scores. The top 10 ward committee priorities are shown in below.
