Action to curb the crime in 13th street Menlo Park.

Comments

#201

I frequently visit the Poat Office and shops in 13th street but I’m feeling very unsafe when going there. When collecting my post I sometimes can’t enter as there are vagrants hanging around there and drinking openly where the post boxes are.

We’re residents and often shop at this centre. These criminals should be removed ASAP. They’re a thread to each and every one and the whole neighborhood as such.

I'm signing because my whole family is active in mentioned area. Children are in Menlo Park high and primary. I'm a business owner in 13th street.(Big Als fast food) next to Spar where gamblers, dealers, car guards are active literally in front and next to shop. It makes it extremely difficult to operate a business especially after 18:00 at night. People would rather avoid specific area due to safety and general unsightly nature of problem. People are urinating against nearest trees across the street in plain view of everyone. When locking up at night it is a real concern working with cash as well as staff being harassed when waiting for transport.

I was harassed on 15 September 2020 inside the spar and on leaving was intervened by a young woman.. Obviously I avoid shopping at Menlo spar.. As a result.. Spar should have there security inside as well.. These are the spies that report back.. Thx

There are schools nearby. The children can’t ride their bikes, jog or take a walk. It’s not a save environment
Going to the nearby shops is also a risk.
It’s getting worst day by day

The police presence in the area is shockingly non existent. I use this business centre regularly and have never seen any police presence.

I no longer go to 13th Street. It has become too dangerous for women. I have been threatened when going to the post office and verbally abused on another occasion when I went to post a letter.

Crime and loitering is getting to much in menlopark and is a thread to law abiding and tax paying citizens. We need these people out of the suburbs for our safety and the safety of our elderly people and children-2 busy schools barely 600 meters from the Spar and 13th street and these type if thugs does not belong here.

Lindie Berelowitz (Pretoria, 2020-09-27)

What a shame that our beautiful suburb is allowed to be ruined by criminals. It started and continues because of poor planning from the cities planners!

Isak Venter (Menlo park, 2020-09-27)

#241

Our safety is a huge concern. The licence of the local Spar liquor shop should be withdrawn. This is in my opinion one of the largest contributors tot the growing criminalty in our area.

Elize Greeff (Pretoria, 2020-09-27)

The Spar on 13 street and surrounding stores have become a nest of criminal activity. The women I know I’ve been followed from there and two robbed at gunpoint. This that to stop!!

I have been accosted, spat at, harassed & even scorned by criminals wanting money or food inside the 13 th Spar. Although convenient to where I live, I will not be shopping at that Spar again or visiting the shops in that street. It is far too dangerous. I will shop elsewhere.

Sick and tired of all the crime. Usually the robbers are not poor but just criminals making a living robbing hardworking people and police are not interested to catch them.

I have been a resident of Menlo Park nearly my whole life, and I want my daughters, my 80 year-old mother-in-law and everyone else to keep supporting the local businesses in safety.

I have been asking this for action the past 10 years with minimal result.
The shops also have a collective responsibility to get involved or risk loosing their customers.

Eduard Schultz (Pretoria, 2020-09-28)

#325

This area has been a problem for many years now. At one stage the SAPS were called upon to clean up the area especially around the Post Office. The hawkers hanging around there harass the residents who go there for shopping and we have now seen that criminals also utilise the area to identify potential victims

Until recently I lived in Brooklyn and often shopped in 14th St. The situation then was not good: in addition to illegal car guards and traders, stolen and/or counterfeit goods were offered for sale on the pavement. There are laws prohibiting such activity, and they should be enforced.

It is not safe to go to your local store to buy groceries. Something must be done to stop this. Everyone is aware but nothing is being done about it.

Situationcalls for drastic measures. Restaurants forced to close at night. Doctors have moved to other location because of crime. Vehicles unsafe. Accosted by people begging. Post Office complete shambles, feel unsafe inside and service is appalling. Tellers ignore you, eat lunch behind the counter while you wait, extremely unfriendly and unhelpful. Drugs sold. Gathering place for jobless persons.

Menlo Park Spar/Post Office area has become a crime hotspot. You feel unsafe to go shopping and most of the time you cannot even get to your postbox at the post office. It is insane what’s going on there.
