Seafront For All

I love open spaces. The public pool in Sea Point and the promenade are unique, I make use of both regularly. Few things remain as they have always been, the promendade is one such space. Do we really need more shops/hotels?? The world must continue after 2010 and reviving the main road should be the priority. The only green developers see are the dollar signs in front of their eyes.

The amount of coastal property available for public and local appreciation is being depleted and taken up by the elect few with causes non other than to prosper their own wealth.

I grew up in SeaPoint and the beach front has always been a place of enjoyment for myself my family and I would have hoped my grandchildren. I have been living overseas for the last 5 years and do you know that the Sea Point promenarde is one of the photos everybody loves to look at. SO DONT GO AND SPOIL IT just so a Mall can be put up when there are so many "White Elephants" in Cape Town already.

I HAVE AND CONTINUE TO WALK REGULARLY IN THIS AREA. TO REMOVE THIS AREA FROM THE PUBLIC DOMAIN TO ADVANTAGE A FEW IS COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE & AGAINST PUBLIC INTEREST. SHAME ON CAPE TOWN AUTHORITIES!

This land best serves the people of Cape Town as a public space where rich, middle-class and poor are all free to enjoy a beautiful day in the sun.

Sea Point is one of the few places in cape town where citizens can carry out leisure activities without being blown away by the wind. keep it as it is. we don't need another shopping mall.

Fix up that dilapidated hotel and what used to be a mall which now only houses Checkers instead, please.

What is ms Essop's problem with Seapoint and Greenpoint anyway?

The Sea Point Promenade and swimming pool are used to the full by the general public and should be protected by our citizens at all cost. There is no need for another hotel or commercial hub in this area, as the Main Road is only a few minutes away and has all the amenities required. Let us not allow greed and corruption to destroy such valuable community property which is irreplaceable.

This is precious green space for all the community. This MUST be protected from development.

Getting rid of open space,used by those from all walks of life, from near and far, make no sense at all.
The misguided political will of those with hidden agenda's should not be tolerated.

Cape Town's natural beauty is one of our best assets...why replace it with buildings...which locals and tourists can see anywhere else in the world. Where will we go to enjoy the fresh air and open space? Say 'no' to over development and spend the money on uplifting urban areas that are suffering decay.

Capetonians need to make a stand. It already annoying that major parts of the city's best property has been sold off to overseas buyers who use their stronger currency to buy up our precious city. Under no circumstances should Sea Point promenade be developed and the MEC and other developers involved should be ashamed of themselves for even suggesting it. Cape Town is for all Capetonians to use and enjoy and we need to band together to ensure it stays that way - always!

As far as I am concerned, the proposed development is blatent profiteering by a "privaledged" few at the cost of the masses.

The prominade needs ot remain development free and open to the public. For the benefit of Cape Town residents and businesses alike. This propsed plan will also have a negative impact on tourism. It stinks of corruption!

Can't the moneygrubbers just leave some of the wide open empty spaces as they are? Why does every square inch have to be maximised and monopolised and owned? Spaces that hark back to a time where people could breathe easier have a value all their own. Seapoint is one of those places, and its safe too, which makes it really special.
