Hi Folks,
We have had some welcome rains and are holding thumbs that our dams start filling up.
Valuations
Appeals have begun and again I urge that you make sure that you feature on the list if you have lodged an Appeal. Click here for an update on a meeting with the Appeal Board Members.
Nuclear
- Our heartfelt thanks are to go to the Thyspunt Alliance who have put in hours and hours of work and have done a fantastic job, and along with the Attorney who has been appointed, we hope to succeed. This however all comes at a price.
- The Supertubes Surfing Foundation who is a member of the Thyspunt Alliance, has set up an SMS number to enable folks to donate money towards our Legal Expenses. To donate R10 sms the word SUPERTUBES to 38665. I hope you all saw Carte Blanche on 25th June where Trudi Malan featured

- The “NO NUKE AT THYSPUNT” march will happen on Saturday 17 July 2010 at 9.30 a.m. opposite Billabong Factory shop – to march to the Municipal building between 10.15 and 10.30 a.m. We need as many people as possible there to create the biggest impact possible. Please wear yellow or black. Everybody can bring their placards, SA flag and vuvuzelas and and make a noise!
FEKRRA
Yet again the Municipality have not honoured commitments made to FEKRRA. Click here for unanswered questions. Click here for Minutes of last meeting with KM. These questions are going to be re-asked for the 3rd time at a meeting scheduled with the Municipal Manager on 19th July.
IMPORTANT
A Public Meeting will be held on Friday 23rd July at 18h00 at the Village Hall (to accommodate PE property owners) to discuss unresolved issues with the Municipality and possible action to address this, to include declaration of a dispute, withholding of rates and taking over the Management of certain aspects of the town. The SFBRA feel that this is a huge but beneficial step, but in order to make this happen, we need support from the community. We need at least 10 people who are prepared to get involved and assist in running the village. This is a huge amount of work and cannot be done by a few members of the committee. Tenders will be sought and everything will be outsourced, but a Management Team will be needed to take the decisions and do some administration work. Supervisors will also be required to check on the contractors. If we do not get the support of the Residents to assist in this matter, then all attempts to try and get the Municipality to improve service will be stopped, as it would then be seen as a pointless exercise.

General – Thanks
Our thanks go to Eddie Elton who has just done an Engineering Survey on all the bridges in St. Francis Bay. His findings were that the bridge on Canal Road towards Shore Road, was in serious need of maintenance. This has been reported to KM. A complete review of the bridges is available from Joe at The Chem-Dry SA offices.
Thanks also go to the Resident on Ralph Rd who has personally paid for the repair and tarring of that section of Ralph Road. This is just another indicator, that Ratepayers are fed up waiting for the Municipality to do their jobs.
Thanks go to the Eltons as well as The Links for the wonderful job they are doing on The Community Garden. It is looking great.
