Ward 75 - Closing of Catchment Pond on Weltevreden Parkway, Colorado

Dear Residents, please support our petition; thanking you!

Petition to City of Cape Town
Date: 26 May 2018
Place: Colorado Park, Weltevreden Valley, Mitchells Plain.

We the residents of Colorado Park Petition Cllr J Woodman of Ward 75 to close off The Catchment pond in Weltevreden Parkway (area at the lane of trees): alternatively that our boundary walls are to be fenced off as per numerous requests over many years. According to municipal laws, the area/land outside of our boundary walls is council property. This council property however poses a health, as well as a safety and security risk for us because:
• This area is prevalent for people engaging in the following illicit activities:
• Drug and alcohol abuse,
• Robberies and Muggings.
• It affords easy access to resident’s property for thieves and also provides for an escape route and throughway for criminals.
• This already desperate situation has been exacerbated by illegal dumping of refuse and solid waste and the indiscriminate and deliberate attacks on certain homes. The dumping of refuse has resulted in an increase in rodents and other pests.
