According to Lloyd Hanson, Pirates’ chairperson, the club was in possession of a letter by the City’s property management company confirming that its lease had been cancelled and the property would be put out to tender.
The dispute revolves around a portion of Pirates’ sports grounds, located in Greenside, being used by Wastepreneurs, a local community project supporting waste pickers in the area. “We have been engaging with the City for months to no avail. The reasons why it got to this point [with the cancellation of the lease] must be questioned. We get no payment from Wastepreneurs for the use of the site, it is a purely community driven project.”
“This is a place where the community comes together to play and watch sports, to walk their dogs and to have a social life. If it closes down it will be devastating,” said Hanson.
