Councillor says rubbish container can’t be moved onto nearby private land; landowner says no one has ever asked him:
The local councillor says the container, currently on the road reserve, can’t be moved onto nearby private land because the owner has not given permission. But the owner of the land says no one has ever asked him.Little Flowers Educare, one of only two crèches for toddlers and babies in the settlement, is on a private farm close to the Philippi Horticultural Area.
Ward Councillor Elton Jansen said, “The container is on the road reserve because Jim se Bos is on private land. We do not have permission from the owner to place a waste container on Jim se Bos.” But, he said, people evicted from City-owned land nearby had moved onto his land and the settlement had grown. Parker said he had tried to get the City to buy the land from him, to house the people living there, but without success. He had even suggested the City swap the land for another piece of land of the same value.
