No More Parking Fees For Strand & Somerset West!
NO PARKING FEES FOR STRAND AND SOMERSET WEST FROM 1 FEBRUARY 2020
Due to numerous requests over the past 2 years from residents and especially businesses in Strand, Ald Stuart Pringle and I supported the community and requested that the City of Cape Town have a relook at parking management in Strand and Somerset West.
The contract with ACE Parking management will not be renewed, thus from 1 February 2020 there will be no parking fees in the CBD. This will be much relieve to our businesses and I hope that it will assist Strand with it’s plans, through Future Strand, to make our CBD a place to do business and to invest.
With this said, I want to urge motorists not to give money to illegal cargaurds. You will also notice that the Strand Neighborhood Watch started a “Pink Bibs Car Assistant” programme, with the cooperation of CoCT Social Development, and these men and women with the pink bibs can be supported by you, as they are all working together with Strand Neighborhood Watch to make our areas safer.
