Seafront For All

No to development for private gain benefitting only an elite few. The Sea Point Pavillion and Promenade is one of Cape Town's best and most welcoming places for ALL people. It's unpretentious yet beautiful, and is untainted by consumerism madness. It's a true public space and should stay that way.

This is a major asset for Cape Town. To change it from public open space in any way would be criminal.

I cannot think of anything worse...I dont feel safe going to the mountain..We arent allowed to walk our dogs on Camps Bay and De waal park is filled with dog poo landmines every step...Both my daughters learned to ride their little bikes on the promenade and its the only place where you can walk, feel safe and see so many other people just relaxing. We have enough hotels and shopping malls, dont we???

Where are all our green spaces going in Cape Town? How can the powers that be consider starting to ruin an asset like the seafront in seapoint.

We need to preserve those rare open public spaces where people from all walks of life from across the whole city can mingle and enjoy in safety the real benefits of living in Cape Town.

Developers will destroy our beautiful city if not kept in check.
A number of historically important buildings have already been demolished to make way for new hotels in the run up to the World Cup in 2010, Rhodes House being one such example, and many still are ear-marked for development.
My fear is that our city will have lost its soul by 2010.

Keep the site as it is for all.

We need more open space for people to enjoy.

Open space is a must in a built up urban enviroment.

Developers should consider the urban environment before they think or their pockets!

What a shame that what was the preserve of the privileged few under apartheid - such as the superb swimming pool and prmenafe - and is now open to al, should now be under threat of destruction by developers who put their profits before social memory and shared public enjoyment of our natural and cultural heritage.

Once again it is down to a few getting rich at the cost of others! Allowing this will set the precident for the entire beachfront to be developed!

This important public open space must be maintained in perpetuity to ensure that the children of tomorrow inherit our important legacy to them. The greed and influence of developers must be denied.

We are ex Sea Point residents and annual visitors to the magnificent city of Cape Town. We always stay in Sea Point and consider this development totally inappropriate in that it would not only be an eyesore but also destroy the current unhindered view of the Sea Point beach front.
