Die Vredenburg-park in Hillstraat het oor die jare heen al hoe meer agteruitgegaan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens inwoners van Vredenburg was di\u00e9 eens pragtige park \u2019n plek waar troufoto\u2019s geneem is en kinders vrylik kon speel. Tans is die toestand van die park en dam \u2019n oogseer, met vullis wat gestrooi l\u00ea, en dit is onveilig.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Volgens Lientjie Blok, wat in Vredenburg gebore is en grootgeword het, het sy as kind en ander kinders gereeld die roete deur die park op pad skool toe en terug huis toe gevolg.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDit was veilig, netjies, skoon en is altyd in stand gehou. Ons het selfs bal geskop daar op naweke. Maar deesdae vermy ek die omliggende strate, want \u2019n mens voel ongemaklik \u2013 asof iemand net enige tyd uit \u2019n bos kan spring en jou aanval.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Nog \u2019n inwoner van Vredenburg vertel dat sy daagliks verby die parkie moet stap om by Shoprite uit te kom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk kan nie meer alleen loop nie, want daar is altyd misdadigers wat daar wegkruip en dit is onveilig,\u201d s\u00ea sy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2019n Ander inwoner stem saam dat die parkie en dam \u2019n oogseer is.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cEk glo niemand sal veilig voel om daar te gaan sit en middagete te eet nie, want dit is \u2019n bymekaarkomplek vir skelms en ander onwettige aktiwiteite. My voorstel is om \u2019n lamppaal met \u2019n sterk lig in die middel van parkie te sit sodat die hele parkie, met dam en al, saans verlig is.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die inwoner s\u00ea die hele omgewing is in \u2019n slegte toestand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDie dam se water vrot en dit lyk vieslik van al die rommel daar. Die parkie was vroe\u00ebr jare baie mooi en skoon. Die dam was in \u2019n goeie toestand en dit is gereeld vir fotosessies vir troues gebruik. Hoekom kan dit nie weer wees soos daai tyd nie? Die park het die potensiaal om \u2019n fantastiese park te wees as dit reg bestuur en hanteer word.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tereza Burger, \u2019n woordvoerder van die Saldanhabaai-munisipaliteit (SBM), s\u00ea die park word deur \u2019n gestruktureerde skoonmaakprogram in stand gehou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cOngunstige weerstoestande, soos in die wintermaande en re\u00ebnseisoen ervaar word, kan egter hierdie planne ontwrig, wat dit soms uitdagend maak om die terrein doeltreffend te bestuur. Daarbenewens het die munisipaliteit voortdurende probleme met vandalisme en rommelstrooiing wat die park se toestand negatief be\u00efnvloed.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Burger voeg by om hierdie uitdagings die hoof te bied, is SBM tans besig om heinings rondom die park op te rig om toegangsbeheer te verbeter. \u201cSodra die heinings voltooi is, sal die munisi\u00adpali\u00adteit die park skoonmaak en verfraai.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
