METRO Police has committed additional officers to Florida Road and will be patrolling the road and its surroundings at night.
Jarrod Evans, precinct manager of the Florida Road UIP, said the UIP was grateful for the assistance:
“Metro Police has provided an after hours presence on Florida Road for some time, and for the past month, their numbers have increased.”
Evans said the Florida Road Service Kiosk was making a difference in day-time policing on the road and is working well.
“We do have more problems at night with parking and noisy restaurants, which we are in the process of resolving with the support of the City and are pleased to be extending the shifts,” he said.
Evans said his vision would be for the kiosk to be multi-use as an information point for the road and would be approaching Durban Tourism to have a representative in the kiosk to promote tourism in the road.
