Seafront For All

I am very against this development plan. I wish to add my name to the list of Capetonians (born here)who do not want it to go ahead.

Please stop this madness now and do something that reflects your social responsibilities to the people of Cape Town instead. This is a public space and should spearhead the democratic principle that anyone can use it - rather than anyone who is a consumer of some product or service can use it.....

Our country needs to be healed and the values of solidarity, ubuntu and social responsibility need to be promoted....

I grew up in Cape Town and part of my child years and beyond was spend on the Seapoint pavillion - I would love my children to have and experience the same.

I have been running on the promenade for the past 5 years and the pavillion as it is now with all the different people who hang around it are a source of inspiration to me. It gives me hope . It says to me that people can co - exist. The public should always come first.

I walk there regularly and would be devastated by such a development.

I often walk along the promenade and it is beautiful just as it is.

I am appalled by this apparent proposed development! And as was mentioned, this will set a precedent nationwide. Please start thinking about the PEOPLE and not always the PROFIT!!
Thanks to SEAFA for doing something about it.

the promenade is one of the true landmarks in CT and a unique place for the people to come together, unwind after work and celebrate our beautiful city. It has to be saved from greedy developers at all cost!!

The privatisation and commercialisation of commonage is retrogressive.

Keep open spaces in Sea Point for the public. I oppose privatisation of the Sea Point pavilion area.

The last thing Sea Point needs is further commercial development. Rather allocate the funds to fixing up main road that is in my opinion in total chaos. Leave the swimmers be!

Please safe guard our public spaces. The promenade is a Heritage site.

May I suggest you also notify SAHRA. They may be able to assist in declaring it a world heritage site??

i fully agree with the petition as well as the fact that with current load shedding we should not be putting up new developments especially at the cost of the public's freedom for open utilised space!

Do not develope the promenade. It's one of the few places in Cape Town that can still be used by the general public for relaxing... safely. We have enough development in the area already anyway.

Even living in Muizenberg, I walk on the promenade when the wind blows in summer or it's cold my side in winter. I love the mix of people, the fresh air, the sea spray and the sunsets!

This pool is part of our history and offers such enjoyment to many along with a healthy lifestyle.

I am totally against the proposed development - both from aesthetics and from the need to retain unimpeded access to the sea for all.

I really enjoy taking a walk on the pramanade, and feel by this being removed, tourists aswell as locals will feel the impact...

Carol Henderson

Signed on: Mon 21 Jan 2008 08:26:33 UTC

We love walking with our children on the prominade, enjoying both the open space, the view of the sea and the fact that we can enjoy grass beneath our feet in a city that is becoming increasingly built up!

The area should remain a PUBLIC area with unrestricted access for ALL citizens and tourists alike.
