The Roodepoort Chamber of Commerce & Industry (Rocci) is relieved at the Dept. of Local Government’s decision to maintain Roodepoort as part of Johannesburg and not to have it incorporated into the newly envisaged West Rand Metro, which would include towns such as Westonaria,Carltonville,Randfontein and Mogale City.
Now that this is settled ROCCI calls on the Johannesburg Metro to ensure infra-structure development in the Roodepoort area is hastened, so that it complements the growth and development of Johannesburg as a ‘truly first class African city.
What are these infrastructure developments we speak about that will lead to the creation of employment and growth. :-
• The upgrading and consolidation of all informal settlements
• The possible creation of a second Cosmos City in reducing informal settlement
• The implementation of the City Improvement District concept to Florida and Roodepoort CBD’s for self-sustenance
• The improvement of road surfaces and road signage – the latter especially pertinent to Ontdekkers where directional signs are so faded that it cannot be read
• The creation of a’ Small Business’ Business Park especially for the manufacturing sector with a bias towards the eagerly awaited beneficiation sector.
