Petition richtet sich an: Department of Housing

We want the department of housing to "halt" the housing development in Dobsonville for a number of reasons. We had our Community Development Planning (CDP) and put down a couple of projects which are a priority in our area.

  1. Improve our road infrastructure, there is too much congestion in our area . There was a project that was earmarked to build a road where the department intends to build houses. Building more houses in our area will exacerbate the traffic congestion.
  2. Will worsen the issue of electricity, in which investment should be put on improving the infrastructure. Currently, most of the street lights are not working.
  3. We have water throttling issues in our area, maintenance and repair of the water infrastructure is critical. With the new development of houses, it will create more strain.
  4. Our roads need to be retarred, there are potholes in almost every street.
  5. Our community hall is dilapidated

As a community, we appreciate the issue of human settlement - unfortunately its an issue our government will not resolve by building houses everywhere in areas where residents are already crammed for space.

Begründung

  1. There was no consultation/or communication with the affected residents of Dobsonville with regards to the project.
  2. We do not have visibility of the plans for the project
  3. Environmental study relating to the area/or space where the department intends to build houses. As the area earmarked for development is a wetland

Warum Menschen unterschreiben

Its important for to stop the project thats about to start without community involvement as alot of issue reason regarding the Joscho flats which caused an increase in crime,noise pollution,roads bring destroyed,electricity issues ,water issues and our councilor is incompetent

For the benefit of our community, and want and wish everything should be transparent and right and strict measures must be followed.
We must not be undermine for the benefit of the so called Greed!!!.

We need our infrastructure upgraded not more houses

Required infrastructure maintenance hasn't been done or is very slow in Ward 48. That should be prioritised so that the current residents don't continue to be negatively impacted. Potholes and street lights need to be fixed across Ward 48. As we approach the winter months, night street crime increases, since the street lights don't work.

Residents constantly don't have water or the water pressure is too low. Building more houses in this area is going to put further strain to our reservoir. The same applies to our electricity supply. We have constant power cuts due to cable theft, cable fault or overloaded transformers.

It's important that the Department of Human Settlement supplies homes as per demand; however proper assessment and analysis of the prospective areas need to be done. Public engagement is also necessary to get the views and concerns of the residents before any final decision can be taken.

I am a resident in the area.
