. Pretoria - After a fierce battle lasting more than four years, the residents of Brooklyn finally have permission to implement road closures and make their area a gated community.

Having been subjected to an onslaught of violent crimes over the years, the residents applied to the City of Tshwane for permission to join other gated communities in and around the capital.

The protracted battle with the city started in 2012 and eventually went to the Gauteng High Court, Pretoria, on various occasions.

This week, Judge Neil Tuchten suggested the parties should try to find common ground.

The matter was at last settled on the basis that the city would again consider its decision of not granting permission for a gated community.

But the residents were in the interim allowed to install booms in area, pending the finalisation of the matter.

If 4 bar = R4000(I am not sure how much a "bar" is supposed to be) then Brooklyn is bloody cheap compared to rundown areas in Cape town.
