N\u00e1 sewe jaar van wag en pleit het inwoners nou verneem daar is nie geld in die Stad se koffers vir nuwe speelapparaat vir \u2019n openbare park in Bonnie Brae nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ongelukkige inwoners s\u00ea di\u00e9 park in Tafelbergweg is die enigste plek waar hul kinders veilig kan speel omdat dit te onveilig is om na ander parke in die omgewing te stap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die afgeleefde parkie, wat tot onlangs nog oorgroei en oortrek was van duwweltjies, staan \u2019n stukkende glyplank wat plek-plek verroes is, en \u2019n rondomtalie in \u2019n gehawende toestand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cVan die beloftes in 2015 van \u2019n wipplank en \u2019n nuwe klimraam het niks gekom nie. Die geroeste glyplank is in di\u00e9 stadium gevaarlik en ek vrees \u2019n kind kan daarop seerkry. Ook die gras in die park word ongereeld gesny en die dorings maak die park onbegaanbaar. Dit word bespuit, maar dis \u2019n mors van belastinggeld, want dis nie doeltreffend nie \u2013 ons het die hele jaar lank dorings,\u201d s\u00ea Martie Binneman, \u2019n inwoner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens haar sny die inwoners self die gras, maar die gras is sedert Maart vanjaar nog nie gesny nie. Die takke van \u2019n palmboom, wat maande terug gesnoei is, is nou nog nie deur kontrakteurs verwyder nie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit het in 2014 begin toe ons die gebreekte hout-klimraam in die park aangemeld het. Dit is toe verwyder en ons is meegedeel die volgende stap sou \u2019n nuwe klimraam wees. Die klimraam is egter nooit vervang nie, maar \u2019n rondomtalie is opgesit, wat nou ook al gehawend is, want daar is min waarop die kinders kan speel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cIn 2015 is ons belowe dat die park opgeknap sou word en ons is ook belowe dat \u2019n wipplank opgesit sou word, maar dit het nooit gebeur nie. Toe ek onlangs weer e-posse begin stuur het, is dit ge\u00efgnoreer,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk is baie ongelukkig en voel as belastingbetaler moet ons parke behoorlik in stand gehou word.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Gerhard Fourie, die voorsitter van Subraad 7, het in 2015 aan Binneman gemeld slegs R700 000 per jaar word vir \u2019n wykstoelaag in die betrokke wyk, wyk 103, begroot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHoewel ek die behoefte aan parktoerusting verstaan, gaan dit bloot oor geld. Soms gebeur dit dat iets wel in die begroting is, maar later verwyder word weens nood of meer dringende behoeftes.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In die betrokke jaar is R100 000 aan spoedkalmering bestee, R200 000 vir \u2019n wetstoepassingsbeampte, R150 000 aan verbeterings by Kraaifontein se sportterrein; R90 000 aan parkverbeterings en R120 000 vir die verlenging van \u2019n sypaadjie in Mosselbankstraat, waar kinders moet skool toe stap. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Fourie was die fokus op die drie sportfasiliteite in die wyk. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOns fokus is om hierdie streek se parke so spoedig moontlik op te knap. Indien die parke-afdeling dalk geld in sy begroting het, en dit dalk op sy lys is, kan dit uitgevoer word,\u201d het hy in 2015 skriftelik aan Binneman gemeld.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In antwoord op \u2019n medianavraag het Patricia van der Ross, burgemeesterskomiteelid vir gemeenskapsdienste en gesondheid, verlede week aan TygerBurger<\/em> ges\u00ea die stad het nou (n\u00e1 TygerBurger <\/em>se medianavraag) die gras in die park gesny en die plantmateriaal verwyder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Verder het sy bevestig die speelapparaat is op \u2019n lys om reggemaak te word sodra \u2019n tenderproses afgehandel en \u2019n kontrakteur aangestel is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cDie parkeafdeling sal ook die toestand van die speelapparaat nagaan om vas te stel of dit gevaarlik is, en indien wel, sal dit reggestel word,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Die wipplank en klimraam sal egter nog moet wag, want volgens Van der Ross het die departement steeds nie geld om vanjaar enige nuwe apparate vir die park te koop nie. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Geen kommentaar is egter gelewer oor waarom die munisipaliteit nie tussen 2015 en 2020 geld vir die park se herstelwerk bewillig het nie.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" N\u00e1 sewe jaar van wag en pleit het inwoners nou verneem daar is nie geld in die Stad se koffers vir nuwe speelapparaat vir \u2019n openbare
