Dobsonville Housing Project

Petição dirigida a: 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.
