in response to the below post from someone: As for the kiddies park, gate is to be locked at all times, non key holders are not permitted to enter, all mess must be cleaned up. Helen
a few questions - why do we have to pay for keys if we already contribute to the Cids? why do keys cost R30 when i can get one cut down the road for R10? who sets the price and where does the 'profit' go? what are the criteria for being permitted to purchase a key? also... as a 'non key holding' resident of observatory i'm shocked that i am 'not premitted to enter' the parks. who owns the parks? i completely agree that they should (in line with city policy) be locked at night, the Green point park, for instance, is locked from 7 in the evening, but surely the parks should be readily and FREELY accessible to everyone who wants to use them during the day. If VetusSchola are successfully implementing their brief to clear obs of non-conformists then surely this restrictive approach is not entirely necessary? parks in rondebosch/pinelands/claremont are not locked during the day. i do btw have a small child who i take to parks in the city centre and elsewhere and we don't have a problem with sharing the space with our fellow capetonians... -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "The Observatory Neighbourhood watch" group.
