Introducing Our New Portal for Reporting Derelict Buildings and Vehicles!
The Environmental Protection Department in association with the Lands and Surveys Department are thrilled to announce the launch of our latest initiative – a dedicated online portal for reporting derelict buildings and vehicles within our community. This innovative platform aims to streamline the process of identifying and addressing abandoned structures and discarded vehicles, fostering a cleaner and safer environment for all.
Why Report Derelict Buildings and Vehicles?
Derelict buildings and abandoned vehicles pose numerous challenges to our neighborhoods and cities. By reporting such instances through our user-friendly portal, you contribute to the well-being and progress of our community in the following ways:
- Safety and Health First: Abandoned structures can become potential hazards, attracting criminal activities and endangering public safety through fall and trip hazards, and public health nuisances such as attracting pests and vermin and the potential spread of disease . Timely reporting helps local authorities identify and address these risks promptly.
- Environmental Preservation: Neglected vehicles often leak harmful fluids and chemicals, contaminating our soil and water sources. Reporting these instances supports sustainable practices and prevents further environmental degradation.
- Aesthetics and Property Value: Derelict buildings and vehicles detract from the visual appeal of our surroundings and can significantly lower property values. Reporting these eyesores encourages a more attractive and vibrant community.
- Resource Management: Abandoned properties consume valuable resources, such as space and maintenance efforts, that could be better allocated to productive uses. Reporting helps optimize resource allocation and urban planning.
