The latest news is that Simon’s Town Magistrates Court received the application for a liquor licence from Tops At Eastlake Bottle store yesterday (3 April 2008).
They are now awaiting objections from the community.
Objections must be lodged within 28 days from the above date and can be sent to:
Simon’s Town Magistrate’s Court
Private Bag X4
Simon’s Town
7995
Fax no: 021 786 3429
Attention: Mr Nazo
RE: TOP AT EASTLAKE – LIQUOR LICENCE APPLICATION – EASTLAKE CENTRE, MARINA DA GAMA
Please ensure that all objections are properly motivated as an “I do not want a bottle-store in my back yard” will probably not do. You will have to explain why you do not want a bottle-store in your back yard.
Anyone can object, whether you own a property or whether you are just renting in the area, but please make sure that your objections are in on time, as this will probably be your best chance to stop the process. Once the licence has been approved, it will be very difficult to have it revoked.

Funny that we haven’t heard anything further from the MDGA. Now do you think that they were intending to let this slip by? Hmmm, I wonder…
nice work, guy
Where do we send letters of support for a bottle store?
Hi Resident
My guess would be to the same address, that is, should you wish to have a bottle store in your back yard.
Resident, the objection process is designed to afford affected members of the community an independent means to voice their opinion – and to be HEARD. All you need do is show some RESPECT for the process. It’s called DEMOCRACY. Is that really too much to ask?
You said it, democracy, and I’m voicing my opinion. I do have great respect for the process. You’re welcome to ask…
glad to hear it, resident – why don’t you call the Magistrate of Simons Town to find out where to lodge letters of support for the bottle store and then publish that information here for the benefit of others like yourself who also wish to voice their opinion. then everybody will know what procedure they should follow whether for or against.
Ah, finally an easy answer; Those who support the initiative, simply live and let live.
