Residents are asking for cleanup work along Van Leeuwenhoekstraat and De La Salle Straat after overgrown vegetation and dumped waste created safety and sanitation concerns.
On Van Leeuwenhoekstraat, branches and other growth are reportedly limiting visibility and brushing against passing vehicles. The vegetation also narrows access to the sidewalk, forcing some pedestrians—including children—to step closer to or into the roadway.
Waste reported on De La Salle Straat
Along the southern side of De La Salle Straat, discarded zinc, cardboard, cans and other rubbish have been observed. The road is used by both local traffic and visitors, making the condition visible to a broad cross-section of the public.
Beyond appearance, accumulated waste can attract pests and become more difficult to remove when it spreads. Sharp or unstable materials may also pose a risk to pedestrians and cleanup workers.
Request for action
The public appeal asks the responsible departments to trim the obstructing vegetation and remove the dumped material. It also calls on residents not to add waste to the area.
No official cleanup schedule was included in the original report. Until work is completed, motorists and pedestrians should use additional care where sightlines or sidewalk access are reduced.
