The notice referred to in M Shackleford’s letter was brought to my attention on November 5 and I too was appalled at the small size of the legal notice placed on the fence.
I was also appalled by the fact that the shop tenants were not notified before the notice was put up. This is disgraceful treatment of local business people who are a intrinsic part of our community. On returning home I immediately sent Mr Theron an email detailing my objections to the proposed rezoning. Ideally a registered letter would have been best, but we all know that is impossible right now. I hope that emails sent will be read and considered, but given the goings-on in the area regarding enforcing local municipal bylaws, I feel that any objections will be ignored and money will talk.
Disgraceful
Comment:
Residents have until December 2 to lodge their complaints against the shopping centre in De Waal Street being rezoned to a Metal Wellness Clinic. They can do so in writing to the Area Manager City Planning at Alberton Customer Care Centre, City Planning, Level 11, Alberton Civic Centre, Alwyn Taljaard Street, or post objections to Area Manager Citty Planning, PO Box 4, Alberton, 1450.
