As a municipal council member, I will focus on practical environmental improvements that are within the council's authority to implement for Havelock Town and Milagiriya. My approach emphasizes achievable local actions that can make our neighborhood cleaner, greener, and more livable.
Key Initiatives:
-
Local Park Improvements: Maintain and enhance our neighborhood parks with regular cleaning, better seating areas, and native plant landscaping.
-
Waste Collection Optimization: Work with the municipal waste department to improve collection schedules and placement of public waste bins in high-traffic areas.
-
Community Cleanup Campaigns: Organize monthly community cleanup events targeting public spaces, roadways, and drainage areas to reduce flooding and pollution.
-
Tree Planting Program: Launch a neighborhood tree planting initiative along streets and in public spaces to increase shade, reduce urban heat, and improve air quality.
-
Drainage System Maintenance: Advocate for regular cleaning and maintenance of drainage systems to prevent flooding during monsoon season.
Community Participation
Residents will be invited to contribute to environmental improvement through volunteer programs, reporting of maintenance issues, and participation in community clean-up events. Your involvement is essential to creating a better neighborhood for all.
Practical Goals
Our environmental plan aims to create immediate, visible improvements to our neighborhood's cleanliness and green spaces while working within the municipal budget and authority limits. These practical steps will enhance daily life for all residents.
