The ward councillor’s office is being inundated with inquiries from residents expressing concern regarding bush and brush clearing along San Gabriel Road in Warner Beach.
“Residents can rest assured that speculation of land invasion and low cost housing development is totally unfounded,” said Cllr Beetge.
“The programme is one of three in the city that was initiated by the municipality’s environmental planning and climate protection department and facilitated by the Wildlife and Environment Society of South Africa (WESSA) that aims to cut and control alien invader species.”
The three-year programme, extending over 50 hectares, started along San Gabriel south of the N2 and will continue to the first houses whereafter it will cut across and behind the Kingsburgh Water Treatment Works.
“Cuttings will be left as they fall as the programme does not extend a permit to move bio mess,” said Cllr Beetge.
