# Maitland residents and the local ratepayers association have slammed Cape Town mayor Geordin Hill-Lewis for approving four additional flats at 64A Royal Road, despite objections. They argue that the development encroaches on residents’ privacy, worsens congestion, and reflects unfair densification policies targeting lower-income areas. The metro maintains that the decision, made on May 26, aligns with municipal planning laws and densification goals.
