Despite being a much-maligned department the table on right shows just what Development and Planning does for one ward alone. The information is correct to 20 April 2017. At a recent public meeting held in at the AOG conference centre the subject of illegal persons residing in Henley was brought up. The facts are that if the residents did not supply illegal immigrants Do you have a problem or an issue with jobs and housing they would not be here. I emphasise that I am referring only to illegal immigrants. Unemployed people hang you would like to speak to around the retail areas because they know that someone will come your ward councillor about? along and offer them a job.

The Klip River, its tributaries and associated wetlands have been described as one of the most heavily impacted rivers in the country being subject to every type of conceivable pollution. These included mining, urban, industrial as well as agricultural impacts. In addition to an influence on water quality there is an impact on the water level, flow regime and stream morphology of the River. Despite this, the Klip River system must still provide the necessary ecological infrastructure to satisfy basic human needs and maintain ecological processes and then also serve the other user groups, i.e.
