Seafront For All

As a dedicated Capetonian, I denounce the development of this beautiful area of Cape Town. Living inland for most of the year, my first port of call when I come down to Cape Town is the beachfront Sea Point which, to me, is the finest area in Cape Town.

We have a constitutional right for our environment to be protected of this and future generations.

my family and i often walk along the seapoint promenade, and have a number of family members who live in the area so it is very special to all of us.
some upgrading would be nice, but no dwelling developments should even be considered, hotel/private/otherwise. That would be an insult to all of Cape Town.

Rezone residential or commercial sites, not sites belonging to the public.

Sea Point promenade is one of the most beautiful public spaces in Cape Town. It is used by old, young, poor, rich, foreign and local people. Developing our assets is a good idea - but the processes used to develop spaces of such importance to communities should be inclusive and transparent.

We feel very strongly that the open public spaces in Capetown of which there are few, should be kept. Particularly the Seapoint promenade which is what makes the city seafront so special and different from other cities in SA

As far as I am concerned the Sea Point Promenade has to be maintained as a public open space! Anything else is ludicrous and unacceptable.

This is without a doubt one of the most racially intergrated and effectively utilised public spaces in Cape Town and therefore essential- it would be crime to give it up for private development- and a great loss for the community at large.

This proposed development would ruin a valuable and popular public resource. I use the swimming complex and promenade regularly as do a huge percentage of Cape Town\'s residents, both local and from external communities. The proposal to redevelop this land is a blatant money making scam that would only benefit the developer and a few well-informed Council officials, to the detriment of Cape Town\'s residents and the City as a whole.

I think it is a travesty that our local and national Government is allowing this sort of corrupt unadulterated back handed dealing to carry on. Helen Zille, Where r u? I thought u were for the people!!

This significant urban, open recreational space is of immense environmental and social value and is an irreplacable resource that should be maintained at all costs

This has to be stopped. It really is disturbing to hear that our government is going against the wishes of democracy.

I run along the promenade 2 - 3 times a week and my girlfriend and other family members make use of it on a regular basis. It has been one of the great places to take a stroll for as long as i can remember. To disinvest the public for the gain a few, especially in an internationally recognised area in Cape Town should not be allowed!

The Sea Point Promenade is one of the great recreational resources in the heart of the Mother City. I love running there, watching the waves crashing, meeting interesting people, smelling the kelp and ducking away from the spray at spring tide. It\'s one of the (few) great open public places in in the City where you find people from all aspects of life of the Capetonian community. And it\'s got the best swimming pool ever

My family regularly use the Sea Point public space and are apposed to having it sold off and developed.

I frequent the area in question regularly and certainly wish that this remains a public space for all to enjoy rather than just a privileged few.

One of the best things about Cape Town is the beautiful open spaces, and the stunning sea. Why clutter it up with more commercial activity?!

I am opposed to any development on the front at Seapoint next to the swimming pool. This is a lovely are for walkers and joggers. I also enjoy spending days at the pool, which is an excellent facility used by many people.

I support SEAFA\'s objection to this proposed development. I think that further commercial development of the Sea Point Promenade and Green Point Common will serve only the interests of a few and the current use serves many.

This area is a haven for families, communities, friends and couples to enjoy the best of what the Cape has to offer. God\'s beautiful creations are able to be experienced without the interference of the greedy man\'s want for money. We have only one home - earth - why do we want to destroy it? We should be the keepers of this planet for generation to come to enjoy it.
