The Special Operations team has been carrying out work on Middel Street, in between Melk Street and Veale Street this past week. Work will continue this coming week from Monday 15 JUN ’26 to Wednesday 17 JUN ’26 focusing on Veale Street and Fehrsen Street in Nieuw Muckleneuk. A larger loading truck has been assigned to assist with carrying away the off-cuts.
The Special Operations team will finish additional smaller streets in Nieuw Muckleneuk before shifting focus to Brooklyn and Hatfield.
A petition has been launched calling for urgent safety interventions at the intersections of Roper & Lynnwood, Herold & Lynnwood, and South & Jan Shoba. Residents, students and local businesses are encouraged to sign in support of safer crossings.
The Electricity Department has confirmed that Phase 1 trimming will commence within the next two weeks, focusing on the highest-risk zones identified during inspection. Brooklyn will form part of the initial intervention cluster, with Hatfield scheduled immediately thereafter.
Residents may notice temporary lane closures during trimming operations. A detailed schedule will be shared once finalised.

Overgrown municipal trees in Brooklyn and Hatfield are interfering with overhead power lines, causing repeated outages and infrastructure damage.
Improving pedestrian safety in Hatfield is a priority for Ward 56. Several high-risk intersections — Roper & Lynnwood, Herold & Lynnwood, and South & Jan Shoba — have been identified where students and residents face daily danger. The ward councillor is working with Hatfield CID, the University of Pretoria and TMPD to implement immediate safety interventions while long-term infrastructure upgrades are pursued through the City’s budgeting process.
