keep up the excellent work. we must all stand together. enough exclusivity - where on earth are communities supposed to meet, mix and enjoy the city in a safe, clean, healthy & beautiful environment. |

i believe in growth and progression and think that there should be some development. Some one story cafes, book shops etc would be a great asset to sea point. however public access is key and the public should always have access to walk along the sea front. going any higher than 1 floor is an appalling idea. |

I love walking along the promenade and watching the sunset...it's a little bit of heaven in Cape Town. DON'T DEVELOP IT FOR SOME RICH KIDS WITH NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH THEIR MONEY!
Thank you. |

Having lived in London for 8 years, I've come to appreciate my homeland so much more, especially Cape Town.
The Mother City is unique – there isn't any place in the world that is more beautiful in my opinion and I've seen 61 towns in 16 coutries.
The thing that makes Cape Town unique is the way in which it integrates with nature, rather than replaces it and it is this tradition that should be treasured.
In the UK, the British Heritage Society insists on a public court hearing for any proposed development that so much as threatens a public view of anything that is defined as heritage (including buildings like St. Pauls).
We should take the same care here, because it is not our shopping centers that bring the tourists to our shores now (is it?) but the views and the nature that is available to them.
One of the things that brought me home from foreign shores is something as simple as the horizon - something you never see in London, because of over-development.
Simple pleasures are what makes Africa different and valuable. We should not under any circumstances allow these to be damaged. To do so would be incredibly short-sighted and deleterious to the beauty that makes Cape Town a place everybody wants to live in. |

There's a lot of people who do not have an area to just relax in their neighbourhoods. This is one of the last places where you can relax for free, exercise for free, appreciate nature and feel safe. We do not need yet another hotel or mall. We need the promenade just as it is, for now and for our children. |

I have lived here in the area since I was 6 years old which is a good 35 years. I am beginning on behalf of all the citizens of Cape Town and even those visiting our city who enjoy our wonderful long promenade to sign and put a stop to this developement. There is so much opportunity elsewhere in our beautiful city ... why here? My concern is that it will set a precident for further development of the whole of the open areas along our beach front all the way from Bantry Bay through to Mouille Point. Please have those petitions at all the centres in Sea Point for people to sign ...I am sure that you will have at least 5 X the amount of signatures you have at the moment. Generally speaking people won't go out of their way to join a protest but they will sign if it on their way to the shops etc but you may have to ask. :) Thank you. I hope this bid to end this development is successful. |

This is a vital area of Cape Town in contributing to the free interaction of all people regardless of background locals and visitors alike. It creates a beautiful open vista and presents a "living/active" perspective of our beautiful city. We should seek to support and improve on the public facilities such as toilets, play ground equipment, benches and an information/security booth. |

This is not progress. The developers are only interested the the massive profit they will derive from this revolting development. The beachfront has for many years been enjoyed by all Capetonians and visitors and it must stay that way. For our sake and that of the future this must never be allowed. |

I can't even fathom that the City of Capetown would consider turning over much enjoyed (by the people of Capetown) Public Space to private development. It would be like turning Central Park in NYC into a parking lot and shopping mall. |

The Promenade and all areas around it offer such a unique opportunity to get close to nature whilst in the city. I love the fresh sea breeze and sense of community on the Promenade. This whole stretch should remain untouched. |

Hands off the Sea Point sea frontage! Why build multi-storey developments that will ruin the sea views of many - who perhaps have paid heavily for the privilege.
Not to mention the public who can go there for a much needed therapeutic walk. |

Please do not allow development there. Walking on the promenade and using the pool there form part of my childhood memories. We often go for strolls on the promenade after work - something we cannot do here in the northern suburbs. Driving 25km to do that is not a concern for us. It would be dreadful if this public space would be taken away. |
