I grew up in Cape Town and went for many great walks in Green/Sea point with my parents. I now live in Norway, but when visiting Cape Town on holidays, my Norwegian husband (who has fallen in love with Cape Town and especially Green/Sea Point) and I walk along the promenade every day! Please keep it as it is!!! |

I grew up and went to school in Sea Point in the 60's and 70's. We used to have our school galas there at the Pavillion and we had such fun running up and down the promenade on warm summer evenings. Everybody deserves to be able to utilise the pavillion and promenade facilities not just a select few. |

I was born in and grew up in Sea Point. My family still love to walk along the beachfront. When I am upset I go and sit and watch the sea rolling over the rocks and it still soothes me. I believe it would be remiss to take a portion away from the genreal public.. It would also be wrong to chamge the face of the beach front to that of a shopping area - this will permanently deface what is currently a free open space for all to use... |

I am totally opposed to the proposed conversion of well used public open space to commercial use, and the manner in which the current situation has developed leads me to suspect that corruption has been involved. |

Whether one lives in Sea Point or not, one needs to rest assured that Public Open Spaces, especially those bordering the seaside, remain just that: Public Open Space. The authorities should be protecting the coastline not putting it in the hands of developers. It is disgraceful that we, the public, have to show the authorities the way; the public have become the guardians of the environment. |

There are not enough green areas in CT as it is. Do we want to become like Kaohsing which was once a lovely town surrounded by hills and green areas and is now a concrete dump!! There should be a law protecting all our green areas which should comprise at least 10% of the urban area (as in the UK). Get the "greenies"involved in this!! |

We cannot allow the development of this area. This is truly a place for all South Africans and we must fight all the way to prevent the development of this area. |

The public's voice need to be heard and listened to by our public servants this time. They are here to serve in a manner that is for the greater good of all, not the small elite minority. To ignore us would be a great injustice and a failure in their primary duty to the public they are meant to serve. |

As a former mayor of Cape Town, I totally oppose this new development which is not only against the wishes of the people of Sea Point but totally unnecessary. The planned development will drastically and negatively affect what is a perfectly good and popular amenity in our city. Who will benefit from this? Only a handful of business people eager to profit at the expense of the natural environment of this suburb which is already under huge pressure by commercial and residential density. Let us stop and think about the meaning of the word "enough"! |

I am against commercial development and rezoning on the Atlantic green belt/promenade. it is the one spot that Capetonians and foreign visitors can walk, exercise and enjoy the beautiy of Cape Town without commercial trappings of restuarants and shops. |

This city has so few safe, beautiful public use areas as it is already... the Promenade is about the only one... vereywhere else is not safe, or just plain ugly... its time this city started looking after its people, not just the rich money slinging developers and the corrput government and council officials who feed off the obvious kickbacks projects like this breed.... |

Public space should be kept as such - and not developed for some elite few and thus denying access to others. |

What Are You Thinking?! This public space is a priceless gem!!!
The people whose bright idea this is have neither Sense nor Sensibility.
We can never put a price on, or replace, such a beautiful, open space that gives pleasure to all who experience it!
Think Again!! |

The amenity will be lost to the thousands of Capetonians from all areas, as well as the thousands of foreign and local tourists who take adavantage of the pool and the surrounds.
The facility really deserves and needs an major upgrade.
Without spoiling the views and skyline. |

As a gem of Cape Town the Sea Point seafront and pool shoud be preserved for the use of all.
Any attempt to redesign it and "develop" for commercial gain should be resisted at all costs as it presents n e of the few places where all people have access to excellent public resources |

Taking my dog for a walk after work is the most relaxing thing to do. There is an amazing vibe and people greet, you see puppies grow up to big dogs etc. It is such a lovely place to go and I would be devastated if this was taken away from us!
Please do not destroy this for us. |
