Sir – Summer is back. The days long and warm. While many will welcome the end of the cold winter, for us living near Coronation Park it is a time that we fear.
With summer come the parties (not that winter is a party deterrent, mind you) and the last few weeks have been particularly fearsome. The partying seems to be getting more radical, the drinking more fierce and the littering more spectacular. Our future appears to be indeed green, but in this case it is bottle green. The signs the municipality put up that prohibit the lighting of fires, drinking or littering or making a noise are just ignored.
By-laws are not enforced by this Municipality and it is up to the residents, who are already paying astronomical rates (when compared to bigger towns like Mossel Bay and George and even Cape Town) to try and cope with these activities and we are expected just to accept these anti-social drunken parties.
Residents are scared to confront these drunken party goers who invade the park. No law authority will take our side and it will end up in just unpleasantness.
The only hope we have is that the authorities, to whom we pay rates and taxes, will come forward and protect their ‘customers’.
