Dear ONW Committee & Henk I kindly request your assistance in assessing the situation regarding Colleen Bester and Willie Crause re the Donne Street noise issue that came up originally a year ago. I have been monitoring the situation particularly from November onwards and have spoken to both during past months. There are two parts, building mattes and noise matters. Building matters are receiving its due attention, noise matters have improved in my assessment. He has applied for changes from Private Residential to General Residential rezoning of a house he recently acquired. This house was one of the two houses which there were past building issues with, to which he opted to plead guilty and paid R10,000.00 fine re each property. He needs to find approval for this change from surrounding residents and to clear the air as far as noise issues are concerned and needs to give reply/submission to Council by Friday 29 July. Basically problems have been dealt with, there are odd accounts of disturbance but Willie monitors the properties via intercom, always makes adjustments to suite. The two of them now can chat or phone each other, before it was no go. However, Colleen is apparently still cautious and not readily wanting to sign, others neighbours apparently are ok. Willie has asked me/ONW to give a reference to Council, and I therefore need to pay visits to both of them and a few neighbours in order to make an impartial decision and recommendation. I would like to have one other person/ or more to assist me in this task, and will need to update you on the various matters beforehand. Kindly advise asap. James --
