HERMANUS COUNTRY MARKET UPDATE: The way forward

Overstrand Municipality had a fruitful discussion with representatives of the Hermanus Country Market and the Hermanus Sports Club on Wednesday, 3 February 2021 regarding several issues, to ensure the continued operation of the Hermanus Country Market.

Mayor Dudley Coetzee again emphasised the significant contribution made by the market for job creation and the livelihood of the traders. The market’s contribution towards the economy of the Overstrand and the promotion of tourism in the region is of great importance.

The meeting was chaired by the Mayor and attended by the Deputy Mayor Elnora Gillion, Ward 3 Councillor, Alderlady Kari Brice, and the Municipal Manager Dean O’Neill, as well as representatives of the Hermanus Country Market and the Hermanus Sports Club.

The following issues were resolved:

3. Overstrand Municipality will assist with ensuring that the market stalls are structurally sound
4. Hermanus Country Market will negotiate the use of the area with the Hermanus Sports Club, whereafter they will report back to the Municipality on the agreement reached.
