George Municipality is once again urgently appealing to motorists at the beach areas to please adhere to all traffic laws and avoid putting themselves and other road users in danger.

Motorists are currently causing dangerous traffic situations at especially Herold’s Bay beach area and are plainly ignoring the warnings of traffic officers. This is dangerous to motorists and other road users and their families. VEHICLES WILL BE TOWED away if they are causing a traffic hazard.

George Traffic appeals to motorists to please park considerately and not to cause any traffic obstructions. If any vehicle is found to be contravening traffic law and causing a disruption to traffic flow, either through parking, blocking entrances or any other violation, they will be prosecuted.

The Municipality has done everything in its power to address the shortage of parking at Herold’s Bay by adding three drop and go parking bays right next to the caravan food stalls for the Festive Season. A Traffic Controller is assisting motorists at the drop and go area.

Traffic controllers are also assisting with general parking at Herold’s Bay. Motorists are also allowed to park on the verges of the R404 Road entering the beach area provided they are completely off the road and not causing any obstruction.

Urgent Public Notice: George Municipality appeals to businesses and the public, in general, to ONLY PUT OUT REFUSE ON COLLECTION DAYS FOR THAT SPECIFIC AREA.

Businesses must only put out refuse on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and NOT on any other day. The businesses, especially the George CBD, should please not put refuse bags out on the sidewalks. Our cleaning teams remove the refuse from the designated spots.

ISSUED BY GEORGE MUNICIPALITY

Issued by George Municipality – 17 December 2021 at 10h30

Gwaiing Beach is open for SWIMMING again from today, 17 December 2021 as confirmed by Chief Fire Officer and Emergency Services for George, Neels Barnard.

The beach had to be closed for swimming on Tuesday, 7 December 2021 due to large pieces of debris and logs in the river mouth after heavy rainfall the previous day as well as dangerous sea conditions. Water conditions have improved and are monitored closely by lifeguards and officials.

Lifeguards are on duty at Gwaiing beach and at all other swimming beaches in the George municipal area daily from 7 am to 7 pm until the end of the school holidays in January 2022. This includes weekends and public holidays. Public swimming pools in Conville and Uniondale remain closed as a Covid-19 precaution.
PLEASE SWIM BETWEEN THE FLAGS AT BEACHES AND OBEY LIFEGUARD INSTRUCTIONS.

George Municipality has in conjunction with the Municipal Court Prosecuting Authority decided to review all traffic fines issued for parking violations at Herold’s Bay beach area on Sunday, 12 December 2021.

Each case will be evaluated on merit and a decision will be made as to whether the fine will be reduced, withdrawn or not. Any other traffic contraventions that were committed on the day at Herold’s Bay will follow the normal legal process.

George Traffic will be in contact with the vehicle owners involved if needs be, informing them of the outcome.

We once again appeal to motorists to park considerately and abide by all traffic laws.
