Alley gating
Alley gating is a simple measure to reduce environmental crime by erecting gates to protect alleyways and passages.
The benefits of alley gating include:
reduction in fear of crime
reduction in crime
prevention of dog fouling in alleys
reduction in fly tipping
reduction in rat runs
reduction in the cost of home insurance
reduction in vandalism
reduction in arson
reduction in domestic burglary
reduction in drug dealing
eradication of areas where anti social behaviour takes place
creation of safer play areas for children
creation of a safer and cleaner environment
improvement in community spirit by giving a sense of ownership of the alleys
increase in the desirability and value of properties
How do I request an alley gate?
If you think an alley gate would be helpful in your area, the best think to do is speak to your local housing panel. This is because:
You will need to form a group of people who will be responsible for the alley.
All of the neighbours who will have access to the alley will need to agree to the gates being installed.
You will have set up a fund to pay for the gates yourselves.
