Ward 2 councillor Quentin Meyer said roads department teams were repairing damaged sections of Rachel de Beer Street, an important main road used by motorists travelling through the area.

According to Meyer, repair work along Rachel de Beer Street was continuing, with teams focusing on addressing potholes and improving the overall condition of the road.

He said he had also requested that the department attend to the intersection of Burger Street and Rachel de Beer Street, where road conditions were contributing to significant traffic problems.
