CIRCUS signs

their push to attract people to their shows. I believe that it's a
wonderful resource for Obs and the wider community.
However, a couple of evenings back I was returning from work along
Liesbeeck pkwy and I almost rear-ended a car that was attempting to
park on the grass verge/pavement outside the circus precint.
I would really like to find out who approved the driveway
construction, because I don't think a proper safety impact analysis
was done with regards to its position. It certainly is in a dangerous
position on what is a busy motorway and can only lead to accidents.
What's wrong with people driving along and either parking in Ossian
road or at the parking lots at the Two Rivers Urban Park?

There is no way that any permission has been sought or granted. I have
just called the circus and left a message for then to call me back.
Not only is the problem a potentially dangerous one, but those signs
are unsightly and far too numerous.
I feel it is better to engage with then first and see what compromises
they are prepared to make - like removal of signs and removal of that
driveway and no parking on that side of the road before taking further
action.

I am surprised that you as the organizer of the Observatory Festival are
considering contacting the Circus re the festival with only seven weeks
to go?The Circus' potential participation was discussed back in March. I
hope they can accommodate you.
Suggest you Google SA National Circus School or go down to the venue and
meet the management. Their contact details and performance times are
displayed at the site,

The proliferation of signs is really getting out of hand. 18 at last count.
Now the have added a big circular one on wheels.
Is OBSID not duty bound to do something about this flagrant violation of
the by -laws regarding signage.
Last time I brought the signage to the attention of Obsid
hierarchy........the response was ...that the sympathy lay with the circus
for their good work and that I should engage with the circus myself if I did
not like the signage.
I find this attitude appalling. Taking action against breaches of
by -laws should be mandatory for OBSID and not at the subjective discretion
of a member of the managment.
As a member of OBSID I formally ask that something be done to get the circus
to bring their signage to comply with the legilation.
I am fully in agreement that the first step be engagement, failing that the
authorities must be requested to take action.
Aside from being illegal ....the signage is an eyesore, especially in an
area that is being upgraded as an urban park.
