The community of Ruyterwacht, Cape Town, South Africa is facing significant challenges due to open lanes in our area. These lanes have become hotspots for illegal activities such as dumping and drug use. They also provide shelter for vagrants and serve as escape routes for thieves, thereby compromising the safety and cleanliness of our neighbourhood.

The closure of these lanes would significantly reduce these problems. In similar communities where lane closures have been implemented, there has been a noticeable decrease in crime rates (source: South African Police Service annual report). Moreover, it will help maintain the cleanliness of our area by preventing illegal dumping which is currently a major issue.
