Speaking to the  Current   President; (R.P) Anita Sobreh she said " I am so happy to be the one spearheading this project. Six years as a club hasn't been easy and as a way of sharing in our joy and celebrate our six years, we decided to clean, weed around the area then finally unveil the new signage.

According to her, it is not just normal signage that we always see. Considering the situations we find ourselves, it is only proper to have some information about the Coronavirus and precautionary measures that would protect the public.

She also said it was essential to change the look of the roundabout and also to give some publicity to the Club which would help connect with the users of the road, the passersby and the world.

They had to do curbside painting, planting of shrubs and trimming of the grass for the beautification of the neighbourhood.
