Reasons for WCSS

•Lack of by-law enforcement and illegal land uses. Illegal churches create noise and traffic. There are also many unregulated crèches in the area.
•Drug abuse and drug trafficking
•Pockets of bad buildings in an otherwise peaceful residential setting, rent boycotts & evictions
•Prevalence of unemployment & loitering around the retail areas, creating an atmosphere of danger for street users, particularly among foreign nationals
•Unmanaged informal and street trade
•Overcrowding in many units
•Dirty, decaying, unmanaged public environment. insufficient urban management, littering and illegal dumping are big problems that bring down the whole area
•Deteriorating urban infrastructure such as paving and street lights.
