Important Info:
Dear Residents,
As we approach the festive season, we remind all residents and visitors that drinking alcohol in public spaces, including our beaches, parks, and pavements, is strictly prohibited under the Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality bylaws.
Public drinking not only disrupts the peace and safety of our community but also leads to:
Littering and pollution along our coastline and streets.
Increased noise and disorderly behaviour, disturbing families and elderly residents.
Higher risk of accidents, injuries, and criminal activity.
Negative effects on tourism and family recreation, which are vital to our local economy.
Metro Police and Law Enforcement will be conducting regular patrols throughout Ward 2 this holiday season to ensure compliance. Offenders may face fines and confiscation of alcohol.
Rather support your local pub or restaurant.
Let’s work together to keep our beaches and neighbourhoods safe, clean, and family-friendly. Celebrate responsibly and respect our shared public spaces.
Yours in service,
Cllr Sean Tappan
Ward 2 Councillor – Nelson Mandela Bay Municipality
