Robert’s opinion on the proposed Central SRA:
Finally we are nearing the end of the process in establishing an SRA area in Central.
This initiative was started by property owners in the Central area from as early as 2014 and we have had a number of public participation meetings. An interim committee has been working tirelessly to come up with the best solution for our area. We agree, the major task of the SRA will be to hold the Municipality accountable to do that which they are supposed to do and which we are already paying for. For years we property owners have been waging campaigns against bad service delivery, no security and waste collection with nothing to really show for it. As an SRA we will have a collective voice of the whole area not just individuals to lobby for change. Thereafter we as property owners will decide through the SRA what we want to do with the rest of the budget. It is time we claimed our streets and our area back, so that we do not have to live in fear and filth.
Central is a heritage area and it can once again be the pride and joy of the City.
