No parking racket for Camps Bay

I REJECT CID and paid parking proposals for Camps Bay and Clifton totally.

I reject the proposals for a Clifton and Camps Bay City Improvement District (CID) by Ward 54 councillor Shayne Ramsay.

This also applies to the paid parking racket for Victoria Road proposed by Richard Bendel, the vice-chairman of the Camps Bay Ratepayers’ Association.

These proposed schemes have been repeatedly and unanimously rejected by Camps Bay and Clifton residents over the almost 50 years I have resided here, and even as recently as three years ago.

We already pay for two useless police forces and multiple private security companies.

Public parking should be free for all, especially at seaside resorts and places such as Maiden’s Cove and Sea Point.

We do not want or need CIDs and toll parking here.

Ramsay et al should concentrate their efforts on preserving the Bo-Kaap (now being destroyed like District Six) and Maiden’s Cove.

Ramsay can also urge “our president” to instruct the police to do their jobs properly, for which we are already paying dearly through our necks for nothing.

Ramsay’s council’s urgent attention is also required for cutting the grass on the pavements and the bushes around Camps Bay and elsewhere. GT ROBERTSON Camps Bay
