Seafront For All

I think we are lucky to have such a beautiful beachfront and it would be totally ruined if you allow greedy developers to build on it. Please try and stop them - doesn't anybody care about their environment anymore?

I use this promenade extensively and strongly believe that the few urban spaces we have left should be kept for public use. Why ruin a really beautiful part of Cape Town with another unsightly development which we really don't need. Rather re develop the main road and keep our public spaces open and free for all to enjoy.

This development sounds like yet another typical greedy short term view which will change (for good) the landscape of one of our most recognisable spots of coastline. Whats next, the Rondebosch common!? Just say no!! ...and bring back the fofie slide, that was cool.

This is a "garden" for everyone living in apartments to enjoy! It brings the best of both worlds together, so without the ying there is no yang.

It is incredible that it is even considered that there will be a developement there.

Public open space is one of the most precious commodities any city can have.

I jog along and paddle from the promenade almost every night after work. This stunning facility is available for everyone who cares to use it. We do NOT need more hotels/shops for the benefit of a few individuals at the expense of the many current users.

Seapoint is already overdeveloped with apartments and hotels - Save the last remaining breathe of fresh air before Sea point gets a death sentence towards squalor.

Timeshare owner at Peninsula. One of the highlights when staying at the Peninsula is acces to the promenade jogging, walking, pushing our pram, looking out to sea and the smell of the fresh atlantic sea air. Developers, don't destroy peoples happiness. When you're next there, just stop for a moment and watch the people using on the promenade. Look carefully at there faces and see how happy and stress free they are. Life is too short!

I'm a regular visitor to Cape Town and make use of the promenade often. It would be a disgrace to develop it.

Public open space should not be surrendered to developers. The promenade is known worldwide and is frequently featured in commercials in the UK.

This smacks again of brown envelopes being passed.

The people of Sea Point and surroundings don't need another hotel or shopping centre. They need open space as one can clearly see that most of them live in apartments. You only need to visit the promenade on weekends to realise that people come from all over Cape Town to relax and enjoy the area - I would assume that some of these visitors don't have the luxury of safety in their own community. Leave the land alone and wake up.

Why destroy something unique and used by all replacing it with something that doesn't distinguish it from anywhere-else that one can find in Cape Town and in the Cape or coastal region everywhere-else. Just another same old hotel development - what for....and it's true it will create a logistical nightmare in terms of traffic and parking.

Although I don't live in the area, I enjoy taking a late Sunday afternoon drive thru to Sea Point and then enjoy a leisurely "roll" along the promenade. As a wheelchair user it is one of the VERY few places in Cape Town where I can safely roll without having to worry about cars and I can enjoy the spectacular uninterrupted views of the ocean. May that remain the case.

There are enough hotels in Cape Town and with the continual crime problems and possible world wide recession it would be stupid to build more hotels.

And take away what every SouthAfrican has a right too. There is not much free space left dont take the last of it.

I am an ex capetonian and I love jogging on the promenade and go there whenever I visit CT... it would be a tragedy to lose such a beautiful, special and functional community space!! Especially when there is no shortage of restuarants and shopping spaces in the Mother City!

Please leave this area as is...there is so much development around Cape Town that in the end you are taking away from the charm of the town itself. Not only that, but this Pavillion area has been such since my childhood and its not fair to take it away from millions of visitors and local people who have had a share in the beauty and comfort of this place. Just leave it as it is. Please.
