The activities of sand mining both legal and illegal has causes a major eco disaster in the area, silted up the estuary and causes the loss of many fish species which used to breed and hatch there.

This has to stop somewhere... They have a total disregard for process, let alone the environment they are destroying

This has gone too far and too long without any law enforcement. Those who have accepted responsibility must stand accountable. The bridge was NOT built to accomodate the loads that are stressing the structure. The structure is also corroding from the wet sand splashed on the steelwork from the trucks that have caused the road top surface to srumble and fill with mud.

I stay in the complex going down the road and the trucks have definitely increased. Speeding as they come down especially on the first corner at the top. They overtake and don't give a dam. Wonder if all their licences are valid.

The amount of dust in the air is unbelievable, also our tarred road leading up to the bridge is covered by atleast 2 centimeter of sand. Let's not forget the damage to the roads, pot holes & cracks that are also damaging our vehicles, as these heavy duty trucks are above the legal weight restrictions for our roads.
