Open trench causes concern on Parkwood corner
A deep, unattended trench on the corner of Swansea and Denbigh roads in Parkwood has drawn attention from concerned residents.
A large trench has been left open on the corner of Swansea and Denbigh roads in Parkwood, raising safety concerns among residents.
The excavation, which appears to be linked to underground pipework, is marked only by red-and-white hazard tape, and has been left exposed with no visible signage or workers on site.
Bright blue piping can be seen running through the hole, along with scattered debris and uneven ground around the area. The trench is situated along a quiet residential road frequented by cars, pedestrians, and residents walking their pets.

With limited barriers in place, there is growing concern that the site could pose a risk, particularly at night or in poor lighting conditions.
Johannesburg Water will be contacted for comment, and this article will be updated with their response.
