The Green Point Common Association has decided not to take the city to court over its plans to build a World Cup Stadium on Green Point Common.

This ends months of speculation that Cape Town might not participate in the 2010 Soccer World Cup.

The decision was finalised in a caucus meeting over the weekend.According to a daily newspaper many Green Point residents opposed the plans which the city intended to impose.

Planning and Environmental Affairs MEC Tasneem Essop has recommended that a consultative forum be established and that all interested parties have the right to be part of the forum.
