Johannesburg - Durban has outlawed the use of boom gates, the Mercury reported on Friday.

It said the city had decided to allow the erection of security huts and CCTV cameras only, under strict conditions.

Neighbourhoods which have boom gates and any other illegal security structures, which are not included in the new policy, will now be forced to remove the illegal structures.

Durban city manager Michael Sutcliffe was reported as saying the city was aware of at least 30 security structures - booms and huts - which had been erected and which would have to be formalised or removed.

Meanwhile Steve Cook, chairperson of the Coalition for Safer Communities, which represents several communities using security huts or boom gates, said he couldn't comment because the city had not made the new policy document available to the organisation.
