By Bev Mortimer: Kouga Municipality (KM) says the proposal to join Cape St Francis and St Francis Bay with a link road “is only a suggestion put forward as part of the broader spatial development plan for the area.”This Eastern Cape municipality said this in response to a request yesterday by St Francis Chronicle for comment on the proposed link road scheme to join Cape St Francis (CSF) village with the town St Francis Bay: “No decision has been taken by the municipality in this regard,” KM said. These were some of the concerns raised: “Any road connecting CSF and St Francis Bay via St Francis Drive should not be supported. “A link road will destroy part of a nature reserve. The latest iteration of the SDF includes a proposed link road between CSF and SFB as well as additional “mixed use” zonings. “As reflected on page 60 of the draft document, Maswana Group suggested greater spatial integration between St Francis Bay and Cape St Francis.
