We fought with the City for the staircases,\u201d said Soetwater.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She claimed the work was for political gains. \u201cNow they are ready to do it quickly because it is elections next year.

That is going to be another fight. We have elderly people and our young people are in danger. There are a lot of deaths in the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cCurrently, there is a gang ceasefire but it can start up again at any time. We are fed up of living in these conditions.
