Frequently asked questions

What would you like to know?

What is Winston Park Guardians?
Winston Park Guardians (WPG) is a registered section 21 not-for profit company owned completely by us WP residents: you, me, our families, friends and neighbours.

You can learn more about it here.

How much is the monthly contribution?

Monthly fee is currently R445 per month which will go towards all the WPG initiatives. If you are unable to contribute the full amount then please do speak to us and we would be happy to find a workable solution.

As a WPG member, how does armed response work?

Your armed response carries on as it always has except we have negotiated service level agreements with some of the major armed response companies to work in partnership with and be accountable to WPG. Service level agreements have currently been negotiated with:

  • C-OPS Security. C-OPS are the current employers of our guards and rangers on behalf of WPG (as they hold all the necessary licenses). In addition, WPG members pay R50 per month less for their armed response if they choose C-OPS. We encourage all our members to sign up for their armed response with C-OPS as they were voted by the community as the current preferred armed response provider.

If you’re a guardian member you have access to their preferential rates. This does not prevent you from using any other armed response company of your choice, but remember we have more control over our safety by working closely with our service providers.

Can I still choose an armed response company not in a service level agreemet with WPG?

Absolutely, you are not tied to any armed response company and you may chose whoever you wish. Just bear in mind that these companies will not be bound to the service partnership agreement and can’t be held accountable for service delivery by us.

Is a Debit Order my only payment option?

A debit order is the preferred option as it makes our lives a lot simpler. However, we understand that you may prefer other payment methods. If you’re not keen on a debit order please contact us so we can find a solution.
