Security Meeting Followup — 2015
BETTYS BAY RATEPAYERS ASSOCIATION – SECURITY MEETING SATURDAY 3 OCTOBER 2015 – CRASSULA HALL FOLLOWUP
It was pleasing to see the turnout for this meeting. This is an indication of the extent of concern of residents and property owners about the lack of visible policing in our area and SAPS failure to get a handle on the issue of property theft which has reached alarming proportions.

Betty's Bay's Night Sky Quality
In Betty's Bay we talk about light pollution a lot. Not surprising, as here we have something so precious that it needs protection. Over the years I have noticed a decline in the quality of our night sky. Most of the light pollution is in the form of skyglow from neighbouring towns. For the first time I can now measure the amount of intruding light. It has made more sense to me to purchase a Unihedron Sky Quality Meter than a string of pearls.
