A heated meeting had to be adjourned twice at the Rocklands civic centre last week.

The meeting on Wednesday November 8, was held to “honour the commitment made” at the last public meeting about the proposed relocation of railway squatters to a wedge of land in Weltevreden, called the Philippi Wedge, said sub-council 17 chairperson and ward 43 councillor, Elton Jansen.

Mr Jansen said the purpose of the meeting was to explain to residents how to submit comments on the proposal and public participation forms were made available at the meeting.
