The Voortrekker Road Corridor Improvement District\u2019s (VRCID\u2019s) staff and board members had reason to celebrate at an event held to mark the CID\u2019s 10th anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not only are they the biggest CID in the country by geographic region, but they\u2019ve also arguably been the most successful, with many successful innovations starting at their offices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    2\u20092674 traffic fines issued<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  • \n
    \n
    \n

    Last Thursday\u2019s event was held at Nitida Wine Farm and many high-ranking City officials and councillors joined the event, including Cape Town Mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis, who also gave the keynote address.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Hardus Zevenster, chair of the VRCID\u2019s board, explained the CID had its roots 12 years ago when concerned residents and business owners decided to take the future of Bellville and Parow into their own hands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    It took two years to complete their application and have it officially accepted. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    City improvement districts<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

    City Improvement Districts (CIDs) or Special Ratings Areas (SRAs) charge additional property rates which they then use for top-up services like security and cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are currently 47 of these CIDs in Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Zevenster said their 10-year anniversay is very special and thanked all their partners, business owners and councillors for support over the years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    He highlighted changes the VRCID made, like fencing and leasing out dilapidated parking, which was then leased used as paid parking for people working in the area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \u201cA car was never stolen there again.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    Another highlight is their impressive security system boasting a control room where guards keep watch on images from scores of CCTV cameras placed all over the the CBD. There are also 24\/7 emergency helplines, trained guards and visible, fast and fully equipped rapid response vehicles. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
