'People have also blocked the flats' entrances with bins and stones'

After residents signed petitions and met with the sub-council, the City of Cape Town installed speed humps in Lotus River in June 2022 in Edward Road, Stephen Road, Stanley Road, Gemsbok Avenue (Third to Fourth Avenue), Isaac Road, Kevin Road, Cynthia Road, Esther Road, Doreen Road and George Road.
-
Resident Alecia Swain said after the speed hump installations, crime had decreased. However, residents said Hector Avenue was the only road that needed a speed hump, and drive-by shooters had a field day speeding down the road while firing shots.
Ms Swain said the residents took action. In 2023, they had a meeting with law officials and JP Smith, mayoral committee member for safety and security, to discuss the installation of speed humps in Hector Avenue.
Ms Swain said that two years later, “nothing has been done”.
