A public
\npetition to curb any further development in Silver Oaks and Langverwacht Road
\nwas launched on Change.org by resident Moveen Adams today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In this
\npetition to the City of Cape Town, Adams pleads with local authorities to stop
\napproving new high density developments in this area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n
Kuils River is becoming a cold concrete suburb. <\/div>\n
Moveen Adams<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe have
\nthe right to say no to over development of our area. The traffic congestion is
\nalready a major problem in Kuils River. Our sewerage system is already
\naffected. Our beautiful trees with its squirrels will be no more. We as the
\ncommunity of Kuils River say \u201cNo!\u201d to more developments and the criminal
\nelements they attract,\u201d she stated on the petition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Her
\npetition is strengthened by section 7 1b of the  National Building
\nRegulations and Building Standards Act, which states that a municipality must
\nreject a building plan if it is satisfied that the building to be erected would
\nprobably disfigure the area concerned, \u201cbe unsightly or objectionable,
\nnegatively affect the value of adjoining neighbouring properties or endanger
\nlife or property.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYet, plans
\nfor new developments are still being approved by the City of Cape Town\u2019s
\nTransport and Urban Development authority. Soon all our trees, birdlife and
\nsquirrels will be something of the past,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLetters of
\nobjection and petitions are being overlooked because nothing is about the
\n\u2018people\u2019 anymore,\u201d she told TygerBurger.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams urges
\nall local residents to sign the online petition that will be delivered to the
\nCity of Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According
\nto her Kuils River is becoming a cold concrete suburb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat is
\nhappening to our quiet, tranquil, beloved and peaceful neighbourhoods? Our
\nroads are becoming a nightmare to face every morning and evening. Our lives are
\nin danger and our homes are being burgled,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Adams says
\nthe criminal elements came along with all the new developments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEverything
\nis about making money. How much people\/families they can cramp up into a small
\nspace. Kuils River is already overpopulated. When is it going to be enough?\u201d
\nshe wants to know.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She says
\nthe quality of life local residents have become accustomed to is dwindling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat
\nhappened to \u201cour say\u201d in this matter? We can no longer stand by and watch
\ndevelopers making all the decisions. This is affecting all of us. We also have
\na right. Let us stand together and take back our area.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

TygerBurger
\nis awaiting comment from the City of Cape Town.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
