Ward 102 councillor David Potter is warning the public who make use of the Randburg Licencing Centre of longer waiting times due to the temporary closure of the Marlboro Licencing Centre in Sandton.

The Marlboro Licencing Centre will be closed for renovations from 11 June to 6 August.

The temporary closure will mean that residents who make use of that testing station will have to be re-accommodated at stations across the city.

The notice of closure issued by the City alerting the public about the Marlboro Testing Station’s temporary closure. 

Potter said, “The necessary closure of the Marlboro Licensing Centre for renovation work will have an impact on the Randburg Licensing Centre, including queue length and application processing time.
“The City of Johannesburg is aware of this concern and will attempt to implement mitigating actions. Other centres that can be used include Midrand, Roodepoort, and Langlaagte.”

According to the notice issued by the City, the extensive renovation work is aimed at allowing the City to provide better services and customer experience.

Potter added, “It is to be noted that license centres are all generally busier at month-end and during school holidays. Users are encouraged, where possible, to use the centres outside of these periods.”
