The City’s Deputy Mayor and Mayoral Committee Member for Spatial Planning and Environment, Alderman Eddie Andrews, declared that the City of Cape Town wants to work towards a greener Sea Point Promenade.

“We cannot wait for you to see the outcomes that will include a public art display inside the Sea Point Library. The upgrade of the Granger Bay parking area will also make way for more parking, with formalised bays demarcated.” Andrews said.
