The attached photo is taken from the Kwikspar parking entrance in Verdun road.
What you see is actually Dijon Road which was not tarred for the last approximately 100 metres up to where it meets Verdun Road, although it is indicated on maps as joining Verdun Road.
I have on a few occasions over the past year requested the municipality via the ward councillor Rautenbach to at least clear the bush, etc. which is a danger for residents nearby especially at night for obvious reasons.
Mostly pedestrians use this thoroughfare and the odd off-road motor cycle.
People are seen using this area as a toilet as well as a drinking venue and it can possibly be used as a hideout.
Apparently the reason why the municipality can’t clear this is that they had no budget money prior to the 2013/2014 budget and now they still haven’t got any money for it until at least mid 2015.
But, they had enough for the mayor’s so-called “state of the city” (American copy-cat style) get-together for 600 guests in the Feather Market Hall the week before last!
Regards
Mike.
