Mr T Marx indicated that he could not find any reference to a similar request/street closure that was done and suggested that the matter be discussed with the Municipal Manager. The Chairperson then mentioned that the item will go to the relevant portfolio committee meeting scheduled for the 1st week of February and from there to Mayco.
However, it must be noted that a public participation process is required in order to close any public road.

The meeting was informed that no minutes of other documentation could be found that indicated that Fifth Avenue was or must be closed. The Municipal Manager: Mr D O’Neal in discussion with the caucus, took a decision that Fifth Avenue will not be closed. It will remain open to serve
as alternative entrance/exit to Myrtle Street. Should an incident occurred, and Myrtle Street needs to be closed, Fifth Avenue will be the entrance/exit road to Sandbaai. The Chairperson also informed the meeting that a job card had be opened to remove the large rocks along the fence close to Waldorf School and at the Myrtle Street entrance.
