We need to start experiencing the joy of being both embedded in community and connected to the natural world.

Hermanus heritage and sense of place destroyed by signage pollution











Hermanus buildings are littered with illegal signs degarding the heritage and tourism values of this town.

You can download the Draft Signage Bylaw document (click on signage window in right column) and check it out. This bylaw 'shall come into operation on the date of publication thereof in the Provincial Gazette'


Anyone concerned with the sickening sight of Hermanus looking like a patchwork 'supermaket specials insert' should follow this process very carefully.
