Fence needs to be replaced. It currently serves no function as people just make new holes in the rusted fence. Increasing the amount of criminals and vagrants in the area with easy access and exit points.Jordan Scott-Turner (Cape Town, 2022-04-28)

The fence is a security risk, is shabby, shoddy, broken and reeks of non-maintenance after many many years of neglect. There is a big hole where a car plugged through the fence in Harfield road many years ago and no attempt to repair has been made whatsoever. Prostitutes and other unsavory characters use this as a thoroughfareJames Thom (Cape Town , 2022-08-21)

Crime is becoming a real issue for residents in the area. The railway line is a conduit for thieves getting away easily for crimes committed on either side of the fence. The police or private security companies cannot give chase due to the railway line. It has also become a dumping group d for vagrants filth as the ove around the area. It is also used to hide stolen items as the public doesn't walk there.Darren Bartnicke (Rosebank, Cape Town , 2022-08-22)
#193
I’m signing because for 44 years I’ve watched the area around the station go from a safe public place to a place where criminals can hideout & no-one seems to care. Apathy creates a haven for criminality.Richard Mitchell (Cape Town, 2022-08-22)

Criminals often use the railway line as a quick escape route - especially muggers. I was attacked by a knife wielding mugger, pre pandemic and had a tendon severed in my hand which needed an operation. I still feel scared to go through the subways in Rosebank.Please look into this matter.
