Seafront For All

Development plans for the Promenade must be stopped. It is public property and it would be a massive violation to sell it off for more, uneccessary consumerism. The promenade strip is a beautiful attraction and it does not need to be defaced for the sake of another already, wealthy bussinesman's gain. Leave the promenade as it is!

It would be a tragedy to have the proposed site ruined for material capatalist value. We need to preserve what little beauty we still have so that generations after us can enjoy it as much as we do.

By the mere fact that I am signing this petition shows my complete support of blocking any development of our beautiful promenade. Who ever these money-blinded developers are, are they out of their minds?

Two words come to mind: Selfish and Inconsiderate. Who do these developers think they are! Good going Seafa - It's time somebody stood up to these Greedy Goblins.

Its an amazing space that myself and my friends use regularly for relaxation and enjoyment. It would change the way cape town and specifically sea point functions in that area. Please dont develop.

I run along the promenade on a weekly basis. It's one of the few places I feel totally safe to do so. Being their is the best way for me to start/end a day. It's also a wonderful way to silently engage with the people of Cape Town. We may never speak but we exchange smiles and have the promenade in common.

Don't take something so special away. Please.

The Sea Point Promenade is virtually the only open space on the Atlantic SeaBoard where one can enjoy free time, either on the grass, walking along the Sea, sitting watching the sunset, alone or with family and friends.
Planning to build hotel/shopping complex or whatever in this area is totally inconsiderate.
Besides, there are enough businesses, hotels on the Main Road. There is no need for more.
I really do not think it is a viable proposition and I strongly object to it.

Please, there are malls galore all over the Peninsula. Please let the people of Cape Town keep this space. I use it regularly and shops will deface the promenade which is used by hundreds of people every day.

I hate the idea of a shopping complex blocking the view of the sea!!!

The seafront is a place where old and young find peace and enjoyment from the city. Cape Town is about bringing nature and city living together. It is also a historical momument it has history of it's own.

DO NOT BUILD THIS OR ANYHTING ELSE ON THE PROPOSED SITE. IT IS NO LONGER AN EYE SORE. iT IS USED BY ALL NOT JUST DURING THE FEASTIVE SEASON BUT ALL YEAR ROUND. DRIVE PST ON ANY FRIDAY OR SATURDAY EVENING/NIGHT AND SEE THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE/CARS IN THE PARKING LOT.

It is shocking that many thousands of deprived youngsters who enjoy the facilities may be ignored in favour of a few well-heeled tourists.

How absurd that they can consider this devlopment. Anybody can see how it is used by anybody and everybody in Cape Town for sheer enjoyment of the outdoor. Cape Town has ENOUGH huge shopping centres and gyms and fancy hotels, and not enough safe, well kept and well loved green areas.

walking along the promenade after work is a daily ritual for me. Swimming in the magnificent pool and lazing on the grassy banks of the windfree Pavillion are equally treasured pasttimes. Please do not take these special, treasured rituals away from me!

we have enough malls, please do not ruin anymore of beautiful open spaces by creating more of them. Cape Town belongs to all Capetonians, not just those who can afford to buy their own piece of a sea view. I am appalled.
