Dear Supporter,

Thank you for standing with us and voting against the Eikestad Parking Lot upgrade. Your support has already made a real impact—but we’re just getting started. Here’s how you can help shape what happens next:

• Vote in our 2 quick polls to help us prioritise the best solutions for reducing congestion in Stellenbosch. We’ll use your input to develop clear action plans.
• Submit your comment on the Draft IDP & Budget—this is your chance to influence real policy. Use the municipal form or email idp@stellenbosch.gov.za. In the article we include tips, etc.
• Share the article with everyone to get them to vote—your ouma, your neighbour, your dentist, everyone. The more voices, the stronger we are.
• RSVP for our next Chapter Meeting in Stellenbosch on 7 May if you can join us. We’ll be building on this momentum and planning together to address congestion.
• We’ve also added updates in the article highlighting our first chapter meeting as YU with Friends and the great work being done by others to push back against poor planning and offer better solutions for everyone in Stellenbosch. You can read more about us here,

The best way to stay in the loop is to follow us on LinkedIn and Instagram, or become a member. We also have a special WhatsApp group for Stellenbosch you can join.

A big thank you again for speaking up. Together, we can move Stellenbosch forward—sustainably, inclusively, and with real public input.

Yours in safer streets,

Roland Postma and Team
