IMAGINE a non-stop stream of cars speeding through Betty’s Bay.

IMAGINE huge articulated trucks on Clarence Drive, belching noxious fumes into our clean air and disturbing the peace of Betty’s Bay.

IMAGINE being stuck in horrendous traffic jams on the coastal road behind said trucks.

IMAGINE the damage to the Betty’s Bay infrastructure such traffic would generate.

IMAGINE the frustration and anger that this intrusion will inevitably cause.

THIS SCENARIO COULD BECOME A REALITY IF THE ANTIPATED N2 TOLL ROAD MATERIALISES. CLARENCE DRIVE WILL PROVIDE A CHEAP AND CONVENIENT ALTERNATIVE ROUTE TO ROAD-USERS.

We need to plan our response NOW, We need to be proactive. Any ideas? THE BUZZ is planning a letter page. This can be a forum for such discussions. [In the same vein, what is your take on the blue LED security lights that pollute our night sky?]

We are experiencing very high temperatures with strong winds predicted. It does not mean that because of the heavy rains we have experienced over the last few months that we do not need to take the necessary precautions in preventing fires and are therefore re-publishing the article below.

Fires are becoming an increasing problem in the Western Cape. The Overstrand annually has its own growing number of fires. Unfortunately the three conservancy villages of Betty’s Bay, Pringle Bay and Rooiels experience the same tendency. The biggest problem in these areas is to marry the concept of being fire wise with that of preserving the natural environment.

Although this seems to be a conflicting goal it is achievable if all of us just follow the fire wise guidelines as set out in the Firewise booklet posted to every property owner in 2008 when the three little towns became the first Firewise villages in South Africa.
