Let's make an effort to help clean up the Spruit. BRAAMFONTEIN SPRUIT PLEASE SUPPORT THIS PETITION TO ENSURE WE CREATE A SAFER CYCLING ENVIRONMENT ALONG THE SPRUIT The Parkmore Community Association is challenging all residents/users of the spruit to support the drive to motivate the City by submitting at least 6000 individual petition letters by November 2013.
You are all well aware of the issue of the squatters along the Braamfontein Spruit that runs through our suburbs. It has become apparent over the last few months that the number of squatters setting up camp along the Spruit is increasing at an alarming rate. The structures they are erecting are becoming more permanent and in some instances they are now growing crops alongside the river. We have all voiced our concerns to the ward councillors.
However, the city council is not recognising that there is a problem due to the fact that we have not complained about this issue with them frequently enough. As a consequence, our councillors are being told the “there is no problem” and the city is not reacting to the issue.
There is absolutely no time for it to “be someone else’s problem” – it is our problem, it is here and it is now.
(Please mail manager@parkmore.org.za to request the petition form) Council will only accept one petition per person. This means that each person petitioning this, has to fill out their own form. Please do so as a matter of urgency we need these petitions completed and handed in to councillors.
Please accept this challenge. If residents ignore this petition and the problem escalates you will only have yourselves to blame! Julian Ortlepp Chairman PARKMORE COMMUNITY ASSOCIATION NPC Non Profit Company incorporated under the Company Act 71 of 2008
