Access to Herzlia field’s hangs in the balance after 850 public submissions, as the City weighs competing demands over access, safety and use.
Residents have lodged a formal complaint with the City Ombudsman, citing procedural irregularities concerning the closure of Herzlia Sports Fields in Vredehoek.
A total of 929 comments were received at the end of the public participation process, with the final report looming.
Mayco member for Community Services and Health, Francine Higham, said the report will be presented at the next sub-council meeting.
“The public participation process closed with 929 comments. The Recreation and Parks Department submitted a report to the sub-council on May 18 for information and noting, which was discussed. Additional comments were made by councillors and interview-seeking public members. These new comments were sent to the department for consideration before a final report is presented at the next sub-council meeting.”
