My son goes to St David’s Marist Inanda and I don’t want a bar across the road

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-07)

Requesting the respective bylaws be upheld in this regard.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-07)

I’m signing because I have children at the school right opposite this building and the noise, loiterers, Uber’s, prostitutes, drunkards, litter etc puts the children at huge unnecessary risk. There are many other drinking places nearby - we don’t need another one. Thankyou

Unacceptable to have a bar across the road from a school

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-08)

#19

My sons are at St Davids. I won’t want them exposed to the kind of behaviours associated with establishments like The Baron. Not appropriate.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-08)

#21

I am concerned parent of not only my 2 boys attending school but also other children. Pls do not allow this happen.

(JHB, 2019-06-08)

It involves alcohol and opening in front of a school

(Sandton, 2019-06-08)

#26

Having a place like the Baron directly opposite St David’s will pose ongoing problems in connection with alcohol, loud music etc. It is wrong on so many levels.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-08)

#34

I am signing this because opening up a Baron opposite a school is irresponsible and will put our children in danger

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-08)

#40

The proposed pub is far too close to the school's premises.

(Parkview, 2019-06-08)

#41

I am a parent at the school, and wholly object to this facility being opened across the road ,

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-08)

#44

My kids at school cross a road

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-08)

#53

Schools and chapels shoulx not be near drinking establushments. It ruins the community.

(Redhill, 2019-06-08)

#54

I'm signing because that's not ideal location for a bar to be next to a school ,as a concerned family member that is absolutely not a good thing to happen when its next to a school

(Diepkloof, 2019-06-08)

I do not want a pub directly opposite and in close vicinity to our school. This will not have a detrimental effect to the children. It will also be disrespectful to our religion. We are a catholic school and our chapel is a place of worship!

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-09)

#62

Too close to ST David's school

(Sandton, 2019-06-09)

#66

There is a liquor store opposite Holy Rosary convent. There are unsavoury people around that store and close proximity. There had been a shooting there (Thanks be to God) that no one was hurt or killed. Seen drunks. Definitely no this kind of store you want close to the children. So definitely no another one to be allowed. Thank you

(Gauteng, 2019-06-09)

#69

I don’t believe that alcohol should be served in such close proximity to a school.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-09)

#70

I live in close proximity I have children and my local friends children go to St David’s School

(Hyde Park, 2019-06-09)

#77

It contravenes the law

(Gauteng, 2019-06-09)

#78

I strongly object to any liquor outlet being anywhere near a school or place of worship. Liquor abuse in South Africa is an enormous problem and we need to curtail it, particularly amongst the young.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-09)

#81

I don’t want this pup in my area of residence, where my home is my haven.

(Sandton, 2019-06-09)

#82

I don’t believe bars/pubs should be in the same vicinity as schools

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-09)

#85

I agree with the above outline of the petition and it is unacceptable to have a place of liquor so close to and in sight of the school Grounds.

(Sandton, 2019-06-09)

#89

We feel it’s ludicrous to even propose such an establishment so close to a school, Church and dense residential area!!! Not an option!!!!

(Hyde Park (jhb), 2019-06-09)

#92

I don’t want a bar/restaurant being erected in such close proximity to my sons school -St. Davids.

(Hyde park, sandton, 2019-06-09)

#95

I completely object to having the 011/Baron over the road from my sons’ school. Legislation is there in black and white, it is there for a reason!!

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-09)

#98

My son goes to school up the road and I don’t think it’s appropriate.

(Sandton, 2019-06-10)

#99

I oppose the opening of a liquor premises in such close proximity to an educational institution.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-10)

#100

This is right opposite a school and place of worship.
Please do not allow it.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-10)

#101

This is a residential area and a pub is not in keeping with the area. Besides the noise, the potential for drunken driving, loitering and criminal activity increases. This is totally unwelcome and unnecessary in a residential area with lots of young children and families. There are many other less-residential areas where a pub can be located.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-10)

#104

My son attended St David’s Marist Inanda for his entire school career and we also have a home in 4th Road Hyde Park.

(London, 2019-06-10)

#108

I live in Melville and I don’t want this near my son.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-10)

#109

I have young kids and don’t want liqour stores across the street from their or any other child’s school.

(Hyde park Sandton, 2019-06-10)

#110

My Grandson will be attending St davids school in the future.

(Cape Town, 2019-06-10)

#114

I feel a facilty like this is inappropriate in this enviroment due to its proximatey to St Davids College

(jhb, 2019-06-10)

#117

The respect and the sanctity of Christ in the St Davids chapel and the safety of our children needs to be protected.

(Sandton, 2019-06-10)

#121

I’m signing because I have family with a house bordering Melville Road and the noise levels from Summer Place alone cause disturbance. Not to mention numbers of vehicles.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-10)

#123

I am also a concerned parent whose son attends a school in the proposed vicinity.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-10)

#127

I object

(Sandton, 2019-06-10)

#135

I wouldn’t like our children exposed to alcohol so close to the school

(Sandton, 2019-06-11)

#141

This is not in the best interests of the public, particularly the school or the pupils

(Sandton, 2019-06-12)

#144

I’m signing because we don’t need more drunk drivers on the road, especially right outside my kids school.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#146

My son is a student at St David’s Marist

(Sandton, 2019-06-12)

#150

My son is at school in the area and I do not want a facility serving alcohol close by.

(Sandton, 2019-06-12)

#151

Looking out for my son

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#153

My son is in grade 1 right next to the massive development where the liquor license has been requested for and this is a not a good influence to have around so many children so close by

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#154

My kids go to school and would not want there to be a place selling alcohol or cigarettes so close to the school.

(Pretoria, 2019-06-12)

#155

As a parent of child in the school, I believe bylaws and regulations should be upheld to protect children.

(Parkview, 2019-06-12)

#156

My nephew attends this school

(Pretoria, 2019-06-12)

#157

I’m signing because I am a concerned parent at St David’s and I am opposed to the bar across from the school. It would attract negative connotations and potential consequences to the school (drunk drivers, underage drinking, prostitution etc etc)

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#159

Against the Baron opening up across the St Davids Marist Inanda school

(Sandton, 2019-06-12)

#165

My children attend at St David's Marist Inanda school which is too close to a proposed liquor outlet. Also the school chapel is a place of worship and this has worship services on a Saturday late afternoon. We do not want to have drunken raucous behaviour going on directly across the road while we are worshiping.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#167

my son is a learner at St David's Marist Inanda, i am concerned about the socio-economic impact of alcohol abuse and do not want my son exposed in any way to more liquor premises - even if only by sight. Uphold the law! keep to the 500m away from schools and places of worship!

(Northcliff, 2019-06-12)

#169

My kids at St David’s school, way to close!!

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#170

I object to the Baron opening close to St Davids

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#171

Across road from school

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#173

My son attends St David's Marist College and do not want a pub or bar so close to the school. Too many dodgy people

(Randburg, 2019-06-12)

#178

Place of alcohol is located too close to the school and in direct sight of the kids attending. Also directly behind a place of worship

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#179

As a parent, the spirit of the regulations need to be maintained.We need to safeguard children from unnecessary exposure to addictive substances. My children wont be attending st davids but i still find it inappropriate to have a liquor place near a school. maintain the distance and dont make children preoccupied with destructive distractions.

(johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#180

I don’t want Barons ours

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#181

I am signing because I have children who attend the school and they must not be exposed to the such businesses. It’s actually very offensive to come and have such a business next to a school.

(Sandton, 2019-06-12)

#185

I agree fully with the contents of the petition and am of the firm view that the best interest of our boys should always come first. A pub/bar gives rise to a whole host of negative factors which the boys should not be exposed to. Increase in traffic, increase in Uber across the road, increase in people under the influence loitering around the area/school, increase in drunk driving etc. to name but a few.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#186

I am a mother to two boys at st davids, I would like to protect them.

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-12)

#187

I’m really concerned having a bar close to the school

(Johannesburg, 2019-06-13)

#192

Uphold the law

(SANDTON, 2019-06-13)
