Success at Last

At last, we have had some alleygates installed between Coverdale Close and Freshwater Road.
.
There have been problems in the alleyway for several months and despite the good work the local Community Safety Officer and the Police do it was obvious the alley was a problem area.
After several months of hard work with the Council Officers we managed to obtain a closure notice from the local courts and the gates were installed within days.
Gates have been installed at either end of the alley with keys left with just the two neighbouring properties.
This is a good example of local issues getting dealt with, the residents spoke and we (Pat and I) listened, responded and have hopefully resolved the issue.
