Die Drakenstein-munisipa\u00adliteit s\u00ea hy is nou raadop nadat verskeie versoeke aan regeringsinstansies soos Prasa en Transnet om die plundering en rommelstrooi\u00adery by die ou Paarlse poskan\u00adtoor te stop, op dowe ore geval het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die munisipaliteit het verlede week gereageer op \u2019n inwoner se Facebook-inskrywing waarin hy kla oor die impak van die geplunderde gebou op naburige buurte.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWat het van jul \u2018beleid\u2019 geword dat die plaaslike munisipaliteit sal skoonmaak waar die eienaars van die eiendom dit nie doen nie en die rekening aan die eienaar oorhandig word?\u201d wou die inwoner weet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cWonder maar net. Dis seker nie so moeilik om Transnet in die hande te kry nie. Dis \u2019n broeiplek vir snaakse aktiwiteit,\u201d het die inskrywing verder gelui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die inskrywing het aanvanklik verwys na die hoop vullis voor die geplunderde gebou en hoe dit \u2019n seer oog vir die omgewing geraak het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In sy reaksie hierop het die munisipaliteit ges\u00ea \u201chierdie soort besoedeling is heeltemal onaanvaarbaar\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaarom is ons deurgaans besig met vullisverwyderings\u00addienste en bewusmaking om die Drakenstein-omgewing skoon, gesond en \u2019n lus vir die oog vir ons inwoners, sakeondernemings, beleggers en besoekers te hou. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie Drakenstein-munisipaliteit het Transnet die afgelope jaar en \u2019n half herhaaldelik gekontak en versoek om hierdie gebied skoon te maak. Ons het \u2019n hele paar keer met Transnet vergader en hulle \u2019n sperdatum vir die verwydering van die vullis gegee.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die munisipaliteit s\u00ea ten spyte daarvan dat hy daarna verskeie kere met Transnet opgevolg en hulle gemaan het, het die instansie \u201cnie gehoor gegee nie\u201d. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaarom het ons die saak by die Wes-Kaapse departement van omgewingsake en ontwikkelingsbeplanning aangemeld, wat die Groen Skerpioene betrek het om Transnet te dwing om die besoedelde omgewing onmiddellik op te ruim,\u201d het die munisipaliteit se kommentaar verder gelui.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Paarl Post<\/em> het verlede maand berig oor die vinnige agteruitgang van die reeds geplunderde ou poskantoor. Die gebou word al vir \u2019n geruime tyd deur vermoedelik haweloses, maar ook vandale beset.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Ernstige vandalisme het volgens ondernemings in die nabye omgewing sedert Desember verlede jaar begin plaasvind, met \u2019n groot deel van die dak asook feitlik al die vensters wat sedertdien vernietig is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n David Frost, voorsitter van die Paarl-belastingbetalers\u00advereniging, het toe sy stem dikgemaak en ges\u00ea di\u00e9 perseel en talle ander verlate geboue is \u2019n seer oog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDit is \u2019n skande dat die nasionale regering toelaat dat geboue in sy besit en beheer tot so \u2019n toestand verval. Die Drakenstein beskik wel oor plaaslike wetgewing wat gebruik kan word as \u2019n middel om die nasionale regering aanspreeklik te hou,\u201d het Frost aan Paarl Post<\/span> ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hy s\u00ea inwoners is geregtig op \u2019n veilige en skoon omgewing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOp die ou einde gaan dit oor die sinlikheid en aansien van die dorp. Geboue is veronder\u00adstel om aantreklik te wees vir die bewoners van \u2019n omgewing. Dit kan nie in so \u2019n staat van verval wees nie.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Seraj Johaar, die munisipaliteit se uitvoerende direkteur van korporatiewe en beplanningsdienste, het by vorige navraag aan die koerant ges\u00ea die gebou behoort aan die Passasierspooragentskap van Suid-Afrika (Prasa).<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie Drakenstein-munisipaliteit deel in die kommer oor veiligheid onder inwoners en sakeondernemings. Ons het die kwessie al op verskeie geleenthede met Prasa geopper en eers onlangs terugvoer van hom ontvang.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Volgens Johaar het Prasa die munisipaliteit ingelig dat \u2019n potensi\u00eble huurder belangstelling in die gebou toon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prasa het vandeesweek teen druktyd ook nog nie op Paarl Post <\/em>se navrae gereageer nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die Drakenstein-munisipa\u00adliteit s\u00ea hy is nou raadop nadat verskeie versoeke aan regeringsinstansies soos Prasa en Transnet om die
