Whilst we were verbally informed that the proposed development of Sam Grolman Park was going to be withdrawn, this has not yet been received in writing.  Therefore, as far as we are concerned the tribunal will continue as scheduled.

Should any residents wish to attend the tribunal, the details are as follows:

                Thursday 16 August 2012

                09h30 Site visit at Sam Grolman Park (Cnr Genevieve and Coleridge)

                11h00 Council Chambers, Benoni Civic Centre in Elston Avenue, Benoni

It would be nice if Farrarmere residents could attend, to represent a show of force by the community.
