13 June 2013 RE: OYSTER BAY ROAD An agreement has been reached between Red Cap and the Provincial Roads Authority for the grading and repairing of the Oyster Bay Road. The cost of this will be borne by Red Cap and it is their intention to grade the entire road through to their site. Red Cap’s contribution is appreciated by all. Some residents of this road have also indicated a significant improvement in the speed that Red Cap trucks travel at. Unfortunately we have no control over the other vehicles and trucks that use this road. St Francis Bay Residents Association
07 June 2013 RE: ROADS UPDATE Council now has got cold tar to continue with the filling of potholes as well as repairing of the bad section of road near the bend in Lyme Road North. The contractor re-tarring the bend in Tarragona as well as the portion in St Francis Drive will continue next week when the hot tar is available. Most of the work to connect the new mains water pipe line in Lyme Road North has been completed and only finishing touches are required. St Francis Bay Residents Association. 05 June 2013 RE: SEWERAGE LEVY The article that appeared in today’s Milkwood in which it was stated that Councillor Stuurman had been advised by the St Francis Bay Residents Association that the sewerage levy should be cancelled is totally untrue. Your Residents Association has repeatedly requested council to, firstly, ring-fence the monies collected for the sewerage levy as well as spending it for the purpose for which it was implemented. At no stage has the St Francis Bay Residents Association even considered the thought of this levy being cancelled. In fact, when this levy was first introduced, at which time St Francis Bay was a stand-alone municipality, it was widely accepted by all residents that this levy would go a long way to effect the installation of waterborne sewerage as well as the upgrading of our sewerage plant. St Francis Bay Residents Association 28 May 2013 A meeting took place between Red Cap and concerned residents of the Oyster Bay road at the Goedgeloof Farm on Monday 27th May. At this meeting the residents raised a number of concerns about the damage to the existing gravel roads which are already in a poor condition; the speeding of vehicles as well as dust they create. 28 May 2013 The Residents Association of St Francis Bay have been advised by the Kouga Municipality that they have appointed a company, DDP Valuers of Pretoria, to conduct property valuations in the Kouga region for the 2014 tax year. REPORT ON MEETING OF INTERESTED PARTIES HELD AT THE HERITAGE CENTRE, 7 MAY, 2013 Reason for meeting This meeting was convened on behalf of the St Francis Kromme Trust, St Francis Bay Residents’ Association, and the Kromme Joint River Committee, in response to two recent developments: 23 May 2013 Welcome back to Willie Botha, the municipal area engineering manager, who recently underwent a triple bypass. His first task was to organise council to repair the bad subsidence in St Francis Drive between Lyme Road North and the municipal yard. This subsidence has now been filled using the last remaining tar available to us until the factory reopens on the 2nd June.

22 May 2013 We have just been advised by the municipality that the factory in Port Elizabeth which manufactures the tar has closed for two weeks for routine maintenance. Unfortunately the tar used for repairing the bad intersections in St Francis Drive and Tarragon is a hot tar and not a cold tar as used for filling potholes. Because of this, final repair work to those two sections will only be completed in about two weeks from now. The pothole team will continue with their work in the meantime. St Francis Bay Residents Association 20 May 2013 SERVICE DELIVERY MARCH ON SATURDAY 18th May 2013 We are writing this letter as an appeal to the residents of Sea Vista and surrounding area. Whilst the Residents Association are supportive of their plight we are totally opposed to any form of protest which involves damage to property, such as the stoning of our one and only fire engine, the burning of street signs, and damaging of roads. We also appeal to people not to carry dangerous weapons and most importantly to take into consideration the affect they are having on other residents in the Greater St Francis. 20 May 2013 RE-TARRING OF ROADS The preparation work has been completed in the two bad sections of road in St Francis Drive and the bend in Tarragona. Half of the bend in Tarragona has now been tarred and the rest of the work will be completed this week. St Francis Bay Residents Association
8 May 2013 After our request to the municipality that grass verges be cut at all intersections along St Francis Drive we wish to thank the municipality for cutting the verges on both sides of the entire St Francis Drive. Thank you for a job well done! St Francis Bay Residents Association
