Ald M Nieuwoudt commented that the concept note provided by the department cannot be accepted and suggested that the Subcouncil refer the matter back urgently. She commented that councillors need to ensure that roads are safe. Nowhere does it say that it is subject to the availability of any budget. The policy reflects an attitude that the City is not prepared to assist.
