11SUB06/10/16
Status quo remains waiting on reports from Line department
The Subcouncil NOTED the information.
11SUB05/08/16
Mr Bam sent an email dated 21 June 2016 informing the Subcouncil that the important issue here is the principle which Community Services has adhered to and City Parks is aware of this. The ED has been very clear in giving direction to the departments within Community Services that the directorate will not accept additional responsibilities or facilities unless there is the budget to deliver the services.
This is something which therefore requires serious deliberation with the role players to identify where the budget will come from. Mr Desmond Baart was requested to engage the Cllr Little on this matter and inform the Subcouncil Manager on the decision made
The Subcouncil NOTED the information.
Cllr Little mentioned that for a period of over 40 years the POS (public open space) in question was never maintained nor upgraded.
The community of Bokmakierie has been requesting our assistance for decades. They have continuously requested that the Public Open Space be transferred to Sport and Recreation so that the facility can be upgraded and fully utilised by this community.
This community struggles with all types of social crime, drugs, gangs and social ills and this field is the only space, which can be used as a sports facility. Once the facility is upgraded, it can be utilised by the Primary School as well.
I therefore propose:-
•That the Public Open Space between First Avenue, Third Avenue, Bokmakierie Avenue and Circuit Street, be reserved by Community Services, Sports and Recreation.
•That a full assessment be undertaken to establish the upgrades required.
•The community to be consulted in connection with these upgrades, and implementation of same.
The Subcouncil Adopted and Supported the motion
