SRAs in need of Christmas cheer

Writer: Raphael da Silva.

With the application deadlines for both the Hermanus and Onrus Vermont Special Ratings Areas (SRA) quickly approaching, both steering committees are in desperate need of some holiday cheer and are urging residents in both these areas to sign the consent forms or vote in favour of establishing these public safety and security zones.

The Onrus Vermont SRA must submit its application to the Overstrand Municipality by the end of December. Another 800 yes votes are still needed to reach the 2 100 target.

This would represent 50% plus one of the almost 4 200 properties in Onrus and Vermont.

To date, although only 37% of residents have voted, more than 80% have voted yes, thus reaching 60% of its yes target.

Members of the Onrus Vermont Steering Committee and volunteers will be working hard over the next two weeks to try and reach the non-permanent property owners who are here for holidays.
