Die Wellington-krieketklub het \u2019n klip in die bos gegooi toe hy beswaar gemaak het oor sportvelde, soos sy tuiste op die Pen Basson-sportterrein, oorbenut word terwyl agtergeblewe geriewe soos die Weltevrede-sportterrein tot niet gevandaliseer is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Dit ten spyte van private veiligheids\u00addienste wat onder Drakenstein-munisi\u00adpaliteit (DM) se tender 24 uur by die Weltevrede-sportterrein waak.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die bestuur van Wellington-krieketklub het in Februarie griewe gerig dat die bestuur van sportvelde oor die vallei heen te kort skiet en stelselmatig veroorsaak dat funksionele terreine groter aanvraag van buiteklubs ontvang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die klub se voorsitter, Warren Groeneveld, is van mening dat DM die Weltevrede-sportterrein in Vanwyksvlei effektief vir sekuriteitsredes gesluit het en opgehou het om enige verdere instandhouding daar te doen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDaardie krieketveld en oefennette l\u00ea nou onbenut in Vanwyksvlei. Daar is \u2019n krieketveld, oefennette en dubbelverdieping klubhuis wat verwaarloos staan sonder enige verduideliking.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Groeneveld meen die gevolg is dat Bergrivier-krieketklub nie meer velde of oefengeriewe beskikbaar het nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cNou is daar \u2019n versoek om daardie gemeenskapsklub by ons velde te laat oefen en speel terwyl ons fasiliteite nie eens groot genoeg vir onsself is nie. Onthou, ons het slegs een veld oor.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Drakenstein se direkteur van gemeenskapdienste, Gerald Esau, het by navraag gebieg dat \u201cdie Weltevrede-sportterrein se geboue heeltemal gevandaliseer is\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hy s\u00ea die Weltevrede-sportterrein word nie tans gebruik nie as gevolg van die ho\u00eb veiligheidsrisiko. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die klagtes het sportterreine soos Pelikaanpark, wat lank weens opknappingswerk buite gebruik was, ook betrek.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Pelikaanpark, aan die ander kant, is vir die hele gemeenskap beskikbaar en word gereeld deur rugbyklubs en Wellingtonse skole gebruik. Di\u00e9 fasiliteit word op \u2019n first-come-first-served-<\/span>basis bespreek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cBy die Weltevrede-sportterrein is daar nie spesifieke opknappings gedoen nie, terwyl daar by Pelikaanpark \u2019n kaartjieskantoor en twee netbalbane gebou, en die velde ook opgeknap is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hoewel Pelikaanpark in \u2019n goeie toestand is, s\u00ea Esau daar was wel inbrake by die kaartjieskantoor waartydens ligte en vensters gesteel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cAlbei fasiliteite het 24 uur-sekuriteit op die perseel. Pelikaanpark word daagliks in stand gehou, en die gras op die velde van die Weltevrede-sportterrein word periodiek deur die munisipaliteit gesny.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die presiese kostes verbonde aan die private beveiliging van di\u00e9 sportterreine is by navraag nie deur Esau beantwoord nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Maar \u2019n betroubare bron wat in een van Drakenstein se wykskomitees dien, beweer dat DM enigiets tussen R30 000 en R35 000 per maand aan bewaking van 24 uur-skofte aan die betrokke veiligheidsdienste moet opdok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWat help die uitgawes aan beveiliging terwyl terreine soos Weltevrede in elk geval vir skrootmetaal leeg gestroop word en die bestaande sportfasiliteite agteruitgaan?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n S\u00f3 vra diegene wat by die debat oor gemeenskapsport, asook DM se houding daarteenoor, betrokke is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Een moontlike antwoord daarop blyk te wees dat die beskikbaarheid van sportvelde oor die algemeen in die Drakenstein-vallei stelselmatig wegkwyn.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Dit is uiteraard die voorland van die Weltevrede-sportterrein, volgens Esau se terugvoer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie munisipaliteit oorweeg tans alternatiewe gebruike vir die Weltevrede-sportterrein,\u201d het hy aan Paarl Post<\/span> bevestig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Vrae is daarop gemik om uit te vind of die Weltevrede-sportterrein en Pelikaan\u00adpark moontlik in die voorsienbare toe\u00adkoms spesiale byeenkomste van plaaslike of nuwe sportklubs sal akkommodeer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Hierop het Esau soos volg gereageer: \u201cSportklubs en -federasies bied self ontspanningsprojekte aan. Wat betref ander kapitale projekte word daar nie spesifieke projekte buiten die instand\u00adhouding van die bestaande fasiliteite vir die nuwe begrotingsjaar beplan nie.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Die Wellington-krieketklub het \u2019n klip in die bos gegooi toe hy beswaar gemaak het oor sportvelde, soos sy tuiste op die Pen
