This is the one place that every Capetonian can enjoy.
Greediness is what will destroy Cape Towns beauty. This area adds to the charm of CT and has been here for many years, its a part of CT history |

What a shame that the lowest of the low, property developers, are trying to do what they do best....destroy neighborhoods, take the money, and walk away. We have to do all we can to stop them! |

This goes to all of the greedy developers, corrupt city officials and the likes.
Haven't you made enough money already?
One fact of life is that you cant take it with you, so why not stop now and invest in making the promenade more alive, by making shore it stays public, clean and safe. |

We grew up in Sea Point and have many, many happy memories of the Sea Point Pavilions and surrounding beaches, especially "broken baths", We would hate to see this wonderful landmark spoiled. |

It will be devastating for all if that area becomes developed. We don't need more commercial centres, what we need is to maintain our connections to nature, and this is one that everybody uses and loves. |

It would be a disaster and huge mistake to take the public space away along the promenade. Me personally go there often to run or for walks. It is used by 1000s of people every day. To clean up the pavements / railings should be the only "delevopments" / improvements allowed. Don't take more space away from families to go for a stroll with their kids! |

As someone who grew up in Cape Town, and professional urban designer practicing world-wide, I deplore the idea of sacrificing one of the city's most valuable assets. |

This is outrageous .yet another example of corporate development and private interests steam rolling over public and community interests. What’s more these so called developers in erecting their generic "international'' shopping complexes and loft style apartments are destroying what makes our city firstly a pleasure for its residents and secondly an attractive prospect for tourists and investors alike . Both of which will continue to provide revenue long after a 2010 shopping spree. |

I walk on the prominade a minimum of twice a week summer and winter. The space belongs to the public ratepayers. Dont let greed kill the beauty of capetown. Lets not kill the goose for the golden egg. |

Take away the promenade and it's public space and you take away the happiness of thousands!
I can't believe it's even up for debate!! Any excuse to make money and profit from something beautiful! All those involved in the planning of the desecration of this area have no heart! They should be ashamed! |

I believe that the development, in particular on the Cape Town side of the pavilion should not be allowed. It will detract from what is currently a unique public area used by all Capetonians. |

Former resident of Sea Point, still a regular visitor. Developing the seafront will destroy the whole character of Sea Point and lose a vauluable community space. Don't! |

It would be a tragedy to lose this beautiful beach front. There are so many people around here living in flats with no gardens and these are the only outdoor areas they and their children have to enjoy. Don't do it! |

No development on the sea side of Beach Road should ever be allowed. Let the residents and visitors enjoy the promenade. As it is today, so it should stay. |

I grew up on the Atlantic Coast and treasure the memories. Our children should be able to have those too - not a concrete jungle. All big cities preserve the area around their water features for the public, Toronto, New York (Battey?Central Park), Sydney - why must we get second best? |

The is a reminder to the city counsil and any people in authority acting on behalf of the public, that rezoning public space, especially in Sea Point is absolutly not in the best interest of the Public at large but only in the interest of developers and corporate chains. Please do not allow the planned rezoning to take place at any cost what so ever. |
