How residents experience their neighbourhood
I don't think the neighbourhood is very safe because there have been a few burglaries, and it's not very hygienic either because sometimes a plastic bag blows by and there are a lot of cigarette butts on the ground, but otherwise it is hygienic, there is a lot of greenery which is very nice and it is well maintained. Accessibility is also fine, although recently a road was closed for a year.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt has been a place where I feel safe and at home all my life. I find the people very sociable and there is always something to do.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is very good, but the only problem is accessibility. There is only bus 3 every half hour.
Auto-translated to English by AIVery noisy. Unhelpful and unfriendly. I don't feel safe walking my dog in the dark. Many noisy young people in cars and on motorbikes. Often very dirty with lots of rubbish on the street. More enforcement. Clean the area more often. Encourage residents to be more community-minded. Organise social events in the neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AINice neighbourhood, there could be fewer loitering youths and fewer apartment blocks, but they are working on that. Furthermore, lovely people and neighbours and you have everything you need and the motorway is a minute from your home.
Auto-translated to English by AIThe neighbourhood is nice and helpful, kind neighbours who look after each other. However, it is densely populated with apartments and there is often rubbish on the street. The loitering youths are not too bad and are somewhat present at the nearby Lidl, but fortunately that is a bit further away. We have the Rooie Pad behind us as green space, but there could certainly be more.

How residents experience their municipality
very nice and beautiful neighbourhood.
Auto-translated to English by AII've lived here for almost 30 years. It used to be pleasant: clean, good contact with neighbours, etc. But due to the steady influx of Muslims, the neighbourhood is going downhill. Lots of litter lying around, misuse of rubbish bins (throwing all sorts next to them), not being open to contact, their children breaking things... in short: they have no connection with the neighbourhood and its residents. It creates an unpleasant atmosphere..

Auto-translated to English by AISad people have no life, they ruin others' lives
Auto-translated to English by AIBy lively I mean that there are many hip young people living here and there are many amenities and infrastructure in the neighbourhood, but it is anonymous because people don't really know each other. You live there and know your neighbours, but you don't really know your neighbours' neighbours. Many people move often.

Auto-translated to English by AIIt's a shame that you see more and more rubbish lying around everywhere and more and more things are being demolished.
Auto-translated to English by AIIt is outdated, rubbish on the streets, flats don't look very nice
