One of the things that makes Cape Town great is its public spaces. Is taking away an area of land where people can really mix what this city and country needs? |

This pristine part of Cape Town has been a part of my and my families life for over 30 years. That beautiful stretch of Beach Road could never be the same and many 1000's of people who get their daily pleasure from the promenade would lose something so very important. |

We do not need a shopping centre or hotel on our coastline. Build it in Bellville or Ottery if you must. This is one of the only safe recreational areas left for the elderly and less active in our city. Rather maintain the promenade properly. Developers stop spoiling our beautiful city to make a fast buck! |

Cape Town without the Sea Point promenade is unimaginable. It's unique and irreplaceable. Go build somewhere else. There are plenty of other areas in Cape Town where urban regeneration and new development are sorely needed. |

In Spain the rush to overdevelop the sea front led to concrete chaos. This last year the government has actually tried to reverse the damage by banning seafront development and making it retroactive so previous developments are being forcibly purchased for demolition. Let's not get into that kind of mess. The seafront is what makes Cape Town. Greed can kill that. |

I can always remeber watching the sea and the peole at the pool, diving off the highboard, I could not wait to go and join them, but alas at four I was told no diving boards. So lets keep this alive and so no to Mall's and Condo's and keep the cape beautiful. |

I have always told people I have met that the one thing about ZA beaches is the accessablity for everuon, not like in the USA where home owners own the beach as well and block piblic access.
there for it pains me greatly to hear that this is now about to happen in Sea Point. I protest and sign against this happening. |

We have a gym and enough hotels and shopping for the exclusives to shop until they drop in the area. We do not have enough open, safe locations to enjoy the beauty around us. Give us a break and forget about your pockets for a change! |

Sea Point promenade provides a quality of life that is irreplaceable. The city has no right to take that away from its ratepayers. |

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. |
