I am writing to express my concerns about the disappointing upkeep of the Kampherhout Street park and the Prasa railway wall in Birchleigh.
Both I and several members of our community watch have noticed that no maintenance has been done on the park or along the railway line wall for several weeks.

• Fedup Birchleigh North residents cut long grass themselves
The grass in the park is over one metre long. Children, elderly people and families trying to walk their pets are faced with an absolute mess.
Not only is it a health risk in terms of rodent, tick and flee infestation but illegal dumping and littering are also occurring.
A hasty response from the City of Ekurhuleni will be greatly appreciated.
Themba Gadebe, metro spokesperson, replied:
The department has allocated a team to the site and the complaint will be addressed by the end of business on May 9.
