CAPE TOWN - The Camps Bay Ratepayers and Residents Association says the City of Cape Town should have discussed the planned roadworks on Camps Bay Drive with them.

The R20 million project will see the road closed for traffic from 20 April for several months.

The association's chairman, Chris Willemse, said they were informed of the roadworks by the media and not the city.

Willemse said the alternative routes that have been worked out by the city are problematic.

"There is a lot of input we could put in in terms of how to deal with the traffic chaos that's going to emanate out of this closure of the roads. We are going back to the city with suggestions as to what we feel should be done."
