A group of residents has embarked on an initiative to establish a City Improvement District (CID) for our area with the aim of making Tamboerskloof safer, cleaner & greener and uplift those in need. The ambition is to reduce crime as far as possible, keep our public spaces as safe as they can be for all to enjoy and improve our community's public areas and facilities. The City of Cape Town must and will deliver the services we pay for via our basic rates, but as we all know and understand, the lion's share of the collective rates pool is dedicated to the communities most in need.

Via a CID, Tamboerskloof has the opportunity to follow more than 50 other communities in Cape Town who have chosen to come together to fund supplementary service delivery to better their areas. If approved by our community, a CID will allocate resources principally to reducing crime but also to cleaning and improving our public spaces and their facilities, and supporting appropriate local social upliftment causes for the betterment of Tamboerskloof.
