Barriers
These may just look like boring barriers, but to some residents they have been a lifeline. The residents in this part of Princes Park were having their lives disrupted by motorbikes roaring up and down the alley. This was at all times of the day and also into the night. There was no way they could even spend time in their garden. They got in touch with Matt and myself after we were elected and asked for our help. We were both very new so it did take a little time before we found the right officers. Then it was loads of phone calls every week to make sure it stayed a high priority. One of the residents did a fantastic job as well by ringing up regularly or e-mailing the officer in charge to make sure they were finally installed. I know it seemed as if it would take forever, but we finally made it.
Barriers cannot solve the whole problem of nuisance bikes. But with the cooperation of residents, police and our community safety team we can make some improvements
