Robin Carlisle is the MEC for Transport and Public Works in the Western Cape Government. At the AGM of the Constantia Property Owners Association on 10 November 2009, Mr Carlisle made three statements about the Firgrove and Soetvlei Fields:
1. OWNERSHIP OF LAND: The Provincial Government is the owner of the land and is managing it accordingly.
2. PROPOSAL FOR HOUSING: The proposal for low income housing on the two fields, as presented by the previous Western Cape Government at a public meeting on 23 October 2008, has been shelved.
3. FUTURE USE OF THE LAND: Any future use of the Firgrove and Soetvlei fields will be explored in consultation with the residents who live in the surrounding area. [It is for this reason that the Steering Group of residents continues its work, engaging with stakeholders on a solution that will have far-reaching benefits.]
We shall continue circulating information via emails as the process unfolds.
