Many people told a public consultation they were in favour of the plans
Plans to close multiple crime-ridden alleyways will be moving forward by Ashfield District Council. After a public consultation on the proposals to restrict access to the nuisance alleyways, the council agreed during its cabinet meeting today that it would be going ahead with the plans.
Councillor Helen-Ann Smith, executive lead member for community safety and crime reduction, said "Thank you to everyone who took part in our consultation. The results are extremely clear that residents support our plans to tackle anti-social behaviour."The gating of these alleyways will improve the lives of the residents who live near and around these anti-social behaviour hotspots.
From that alleyway alone, there have been 165 recorded incidents of anti-social behaviour, nuisance motorbikes and criminal damage to fences. Some of the other alleyways in Sutton-in-Ashfield set to be closed include the land between Bramley Court and Sutton Lawn, Welbeck Street and Portland Close, and the land between Downing Street and North Street.
