One person has already been knocked over while standing on the pavement. From the CPF side, we have done everything we can. When there is a complaint we notify law enforcement but two vehicles is not going to work for 2 000 people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ismail says the spinners have been advised to use Killarney race track but are not interested.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThey want a pitch in Ocean View, it\u2019s not going to happen because it\u2019s a residential area. There is a track in Killarney but they say it is too far.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The state of roads caused a row among residents on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Terence Daniels wrote in a Facebook post that drivers had once again left without cleaning up after a night of spinning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSo, the spinners want a pitch, just look at how a small piece of road looks after they are done. If you can\u2019t look after this small piece of road, you\u2019ll never get what you want. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThe only statement that is being made here is that you don\u2019t care about your community,\u201d wrote Daniels. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He added that police and law enforcement are stoned away when they try to intervene. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However resident Insaaf Brenner disagreed: \u201cAs far as I can remember no police or law enforcement was ever stoned. So give the spinners of Ocean View a proper and safe place where the sport can be practised. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cBefore the voting took place everyone was so eager to help the spinners of Ocean View, but now that it\u2019s done they want to stop it. Get to know the sport before making bad assumptions about it,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ward 69 councillor Patricia Francke responded on Facebook that the situation in Ocean View was very sad. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIf I come to church on a Sunday my spirit is so down that I just want to turn back. This is our own people and then while the spinning is on, you can find children on the roof of the church.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Francke told <span>People\u2019s Post<\/span> that the spinners do not reside in Ocean View. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI\u2019m so frustrated, because the spinners are not from the area. This group is trying to do something illegal by spinning in the road.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cEvery Sunday pieces of tyre are lying in the church yard, you must walk into that black mess, we don\u2019t deserve that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She added that there had also been three to four break-ins at the church.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cThere\u2019s a guy living in Ocean View who is the forerunner organising the spinning. I grew up in Ocean View, it was a place people could walk around. But now, these youngsters don\u2019t want to obey the rules. Last year when the city blocked the roads they started burning tyres.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a Facebook post community member Graham Psalmist Jehoma wrote that spinning was not creating jobs in the area. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpinning has created no jobs for unemployed unskilled youth of Ocean View. They can at least brag about a phone full of Tik Tok spinning videos. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cSpinning is not a bread-and-butter issue. Focus people. There is little to zero economic activity in Ocean View hence crime and drugs will remain a problem. No amount of policing will stop that.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tyre debris, empty beer bottles and discarded cigarette butts have Ocean View residents fed up with
