SAFETY FEARS

- TARA ISAACS

RESIDENTS living near De Grendel Park in Bothasig have raised concerns about what they describe as the City’s failure to maintain the public space.

They say the neglect has resulted in illegal dumping, hygiene problems, and growing safety concerns.

A resident, who asked to remain anonymous, said the park directly behind her family’s home has deteriorated due to a lack of regular maintenance and oversight.

According to the resident, the park has become a dumping site, with refuse accumulating against the boundary wall shared with nearby homes.
