These illegal businesses are bringing more crime to our area as well as alot of noise pollution.
It isthese businesses which are overloading our electricity and water infrastructure and causing substations to blow up, cables to melt and making it difficult to restore power after load shedding. Further, there are many large trucks driving in the residential area to and from these businesses in disregard of the 5 ton limit, which is causing seroous damage to our roads which weren't designed for such heavy traffic.
Council is losing out on the income they would have obtained via rates, licences and so on if these businesses were in the areas zoned for such.

I formally request the Department of City Planning to take immediate measures addressing the proliferation of illegal businesses within the agricultural zones of our community, notably in Bredell.

The increasing prevalence of unauthorized businesses in our area is a matter of grave concern. These illicit establishments pose a significant threat to the environment and the overall health and social well-being of our communities. The absence of proper oversight and regulation has resulted in adverse impacts on the local environment. The unauthorized nature of these businesses raises serious questions regarding their compliance with safety and health standards.

I urgently urge the Department of City Planning to address this issue promptly by formulating and implementing comprehensive plans to curb the establishment of illegal businesses within the agricultural zones. Such measures are essential to safeguard the welfare of our community and maintain the integrity of our living and agricultural spaces.

These illegal businesses are firstly not paying correct taxes and secondly if they are trucking or truck stops they are damaging our roads and storm water drains. The truck drivers are throwing rubbish around and used condoms as attracting prostitution.
Thank you
