It’s time to clean up your act if you live, work, visit or do business in the Cape Town CBD. Collecting waste and litter in downtown Cape Town is not only a dirty business, it’s expensive too. We all need to pull together to make a difference. With this in mind, and with the aim of encouraging the public not to litter and not to dump, the Urban Management team of the Cape Town Central City Improvement District (CT CCID) has launched its 2019 “It’s time to come clean” campaign.

One of the central city’s iconic memorials, the Lightfoot Memorial at Trafalgar Place, has been unveiled after its R1-million restoration by the City of Cape Town.

The memorial fountain was erected in honour of Archdeacon Thomas Lightfoot and originally unveiled in 1907 in the square adjacent to the Trafalgar Place Flower Market. Its restoration was proposed in 2014 by Ward councillor Dave Bryant who has led the project to preserve the weather-worn piece of Cape Town’s history.
