I think every month starts with the exclamation of another business month has gone by! And August has been no different and in a blink of an eye we will closing off the year. Thank you to everyone who has communicated with me over the last month, it is greatly appreciated.
The Mayor has written an excellent summary of the current position regarding concerns for the homeless. If you are able to take a few minutes to read it then you will be aware of the full situation. I am asked regularly and I note the questions on social media with regards to specifics in the the Ward. I cannot publish the operational work of the departments and to do so could severely hamper the plans. Please take some time to read the Mayors full explanation here.
We have all noticed the mowing of our public spaces has been a bit behind this year. There are a number of factors that has lead to this and you can access the full media release here. But contingency plans are in place and the in-house mowing teams are working hard to catch up on all areas. Please do continue to log service requests for any area in need.Well done to the Camps Bay Rate Payers Association and Camps Bay CPF. They successfully negotiated the withdrawal of the pending Camps Bay Pick 'n Pay liquor Licence application. Thank you to the many residents who headed the call and submitted their letters of objection. Thank you to Pick 'n Pay for hearing the collective call and revoking the application.
Well done to the Sea Point Fresnaye and Bantry Bay Rate Payers Association who held a successful AGM this month. These volunteer groups are an essential voice in representing your concerns and they are so reliant on a committee group of volunteers. Please support your local rate payers association ang join them!
Please don't forget to sign the Mayor's Petition! We need your support to show the national government how much these policing powers are needed in our city.
The events precinct is certainly back in business with a host of events on the calendar as we edge towards the Festive Season. A great deal of thanks is due to Jane (Mouille Point Ratepayers) and Steve (Green Point Ratepayers Association) for their constant input into these event applications and for looking out for the interests of their communities.
Have a look at the end of the newsletter for a round up of some of the bigger events on the calendar.
Take care
Nicola
