Ansökan riktad till: 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.

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.
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.
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.
Our roads need to be retarred, there are potholes in almost every street.
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.

Orsak

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

Tack så mycket för ert stöd, Dobsonville - Ward 48 Residents, Johannesburg

Good evening Residents,
We are making progress on our quest to "halt" the Department of Housing/Human Settlement in building houses in our neighborhood without proper consultation and environmental study.

We are targeting a 1000 signatures, so our demand is taken serious. We need to start thinking of projects we need the government to prioritize in our neighborhood/townships. We have been part of the Community Development Planning (CDP) , have shared our priority project with them and to date (4 years later) we still do not have any development.
Continue to share with your Neighbour's, friends and family to support the fight and sign the petition.

"There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about." Margaret J. Wheatly

We need further consideration to be made in terms of getting the new development project implemented in our area. There are issues that needs to be addressed prior to this development i.e. conditions of the streets, water shortage/throttling weekly, electricity technical issues etc. Therefore, once we have been consulted and an explanation has been shared on how these issues are going to be mitigated, then maybe we can determine a way forward.

We need services to our community not new houses projects. Out street light, roads, electricity and water are problem to our community
