Residents of Harare's Avondale area have called on the city council to address several challenges which they are facing particularly with regards to water provision.
Water and sanitation issues hogged the limelight at Harare's Avondale ward 7 council consultation meeting with residents raising concern over the hygiene of the water being delivered.
Residents also bemoaned the neglect of amenities like roads, street lights and community centres by the responsible authority.
Avondale ward 7 Councillor Mr Beadle Gwasira said efforts were being made to address the issue of water through an initiative meant to replace the old pipes, sentiments which were echoed by Mt Pleasant legislator Jason Passade.
Recently council conducted pre-budget consultations around the city which were meant to solicit views for the 2018 budget.
Last year a budget of $448 million was proposed but it was later revised to $328.2 million.
