Councillor David Foley invited the Fourways community to a public meeting at Indaba Hotel on 2 May, to discuss bad driving behaviour in Fourways.
The evening was a success because residents could openly discuss how the bad behaviour of drivers on the roads has affected them in their areas.
“Residents had a platform to raise their concerns in a public forum with senior police and Metro police officials, including the councillors for the greater Fourways area,” said Foley.
