UPDATED PETITION FOR STOP THE CRIME AT "THE STRIP" LYNNWOOD ROAD

Gauteng Liquor Board meeting regarding The Strip - N'Joy

Good day all 

At last we have a meetign with the Gauteng Liquor Board regarding Liquor lisence for N'Joy at The Strip. Some of the people who signed the petition mentioned under age drinking at The Strip, where alcohol was sold to under aged youth. If you are a witness to this, please contact me on 082 454 9244 if you are willing to do an affidavit to this effect.  

Regards Cllr Siobhan Muller

Progress on the noise at The Strip

Good day all   - since the last update, the University of Pretoria has been in court to get an intersict against the Stip  - they won but SAPS refused to impliment the court order. The defendants were refused the right to appeal the court case and have now taken it to the Supreme Court of Appeal.  This delays the impimentation

We have regualr community meetings with stakeholders includign MMC's, TMPS and SAPS  - there are always excuses from both TMPD, buildign control and SAPS as to why they cant act. There has been a Carte Blance expose on The Strip since then , I have attended site visist only afterwards to be told by officials there is no problem. So this matter is not an easy one to fight.

We are calling on those who have since October 2023 to date been affected by the noise to do an Affidavit to show that despite the interdict the problems persist 

Regards Cllr Siobhan Muller

FEEDBACK on The Strip petition

Good morning everyone   

Again we handed a copy of the petition to the District commanders office with the demand it be presented to the Provincial Commissioner who has not wanted to meet with us yet.

On Saturday I gave the petition to members of the Provincial Leglislature and Members of Parliament to take up the matter at all levels.We have been shouting out loud for years with SAPS ignoring us. 

Last night there was an expose on Carte Blanche which hopefully will pressure SAPS to take this matter seriously and see that the residents will not allow things to simply go one.

A huge thank you to the commuity leaders supporting me in this fight for our ward and our City. 

I will now post an updated petition which I can then hand to all concerned  - I think after last night many more want to sign

Dear Residents

In November 2022 we handed a copy of this petition to the SAPS Acting District Commisioner in a face to face meeting, as the Provincial commissioner insisted we must first submit to the Distrcict Commisisioner - this we have done with absulutely no follow up or response. Detailed accounts were given to him .

The committe then requested the SAPS Provincial commisioner to attedn a meeting in early May so that a seocnd copy of th epetition could be handed to him for action. Again he refused sayign the new Disctrict commisioner shoudl attend the meetign and receive a petition. Neither the Disctirct commissioner nor the Provincial commissioner arrived for the said meeting. Both were claled at the tiem of the meetign only to find out they were both in Johannesburg and not going to attend the meeting. 

I as COuncillor and MERA ( Residents Assocaition) have subsiquently snet the Provincial Commissioner storng letters requesting his office explains why they are unwillign to meet with those that pay their salaries. Failure to get response will mean that this matter needds to be taken to Parliament and to the public Protector as well as to the press. 

We will not stand by as our youth are destroyed and our suburbs are turned into criminal hives and noise diswturbance destorys the residential character of our suburbs. 

Petition regarding the crime at The Strip on Lynnwood road

Dear Residents

Thank you for signing this petition. The community leaders, myself and other stakeholders will meet with the District Commander , Commander Thine on Thursday 1st December. It has taken a while to get the meeting, and we were informed we could not meet with the Provincial Commander until we had met with Commander Thine. 

I will be handing over our petition to Commander Thine ( it is addressed to the Provincial Commander) and making it clear that unless action is taken, the next step will be the Provincial Commander.  I have already perepared a copy for each of these Commanders.
