'Alley-Gating' is crime preventative measure
which involves erecting steel, self locking gates to the ends of
alley-ways and passages that are the responsibility of the home
owners who live around them.
How to apply for and implement a successful 'alley-gating'
scheme:
That County Council Local Area Committees are
allocated the powers to authorise the introduction of alley gates,
to apply to the secretary of state for area designation under the
Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000, and to make or apply for
stopping up orders. In order for a designation application to
be successful there needs to be sufficient evidence to indicate
that any highway proposed to be closed has contributed to criminal
activity.
