  • the existing informal trading spaces have also been upgraded to improve the business environment for the informal traders,
  • a wall of art has been created by local artists to acknowledge the history of Langa and to celebrate its future,
  • new public seating and lighting have been installed and a new asphalted public parking area adjacent to Brinton Street has been constructed
