I think we have a basic misunderstanding about the proposed Station Site development. Baked beans and now taxi costs? Does this mean that the main objection to Checkers supermarket is the fear that they are going to cater for the poor? Maybe you are right then that means that I am wrong, but I have been into Checkers in Plumstead which caters for the workers on the way to the station to catch their train home and I have been into Meadowridge Checkers which caters for the tastes of the residents in Meadowridge and Constantia areas.

They are very different stores. Why are we assuming that Checkers is aiming to bring in busloads of baked bean eating workers? As for valuation of property, this is disingenuous, we have all been re -rated lately and valuations have altered radically everywhere and will continue to do so as usable land becomes a scarce resource.

Hermanus is no longer a little village and all our supermarkets are stretched to their limits almost all the year round as tourists and visitors beat a pathway to our door.

We welcome them but they must be catered for and Eastcliff is self-catering country and Checkers will be just up your street.
