‘Make day visitors pay’
Parties are fun, but Scottburgh is a family holiday resort and not a ‘Woodstock’.
Dear Editor,-
Parties can be fun without booze and invading others’ privacy with unnecessary high noise levels, until small hours of the morning.
To break the law is breaking the law! Where will the line be drawn if law and order is not enforced? Only one side of the coin is having fun here and my sympathy goes to the property owners and residents, who also wish to also enjoy their holidays in a manner that is their right and protected by law.
After all, parties are fun, but Scottburgh is a family holiday resort and not a ‘Woodstock’.
Ask the building dwellers around the beachfront – who would agree to their environment being invaded by lawless – drunken – excessively noisy parties, as a designated area? So where? And we all know that nobody takes any notice of signs, no matter how big they are… even the law is ignored!
I, as a regular CPF attender and sympathiser with the SAPS and the misery that they are subjected to over the Festive Season, definitely vote for a pay beach for day visitors to Scottburgh – irrespective of race, colour, creed or culture.
Holidaymakers, irrespective of race, colour, creed or culture and residents, irrespective of race, colour, creed or culture, should be in possession of an entry card, as they are already paying either for their holiday (thereby supporting Scottburgh financially) or taxes to support Scottburgh.
On the other hand, day visitors cause untold extra expense for extra policing and for cleaning up the mess, no matter how many bins are provided. If people behaved in a normal, peace-loving, fun-loving, respectable manner, all of the above would not be necessary.
In closing, I refer you to ‘Nuisances by-laws adopted under Provincial Notice No 389, of 1959 as amended’, which is still in practice.
