Progress on Alley Gating


Several alley gating schemes in Chorlton have now been completed including Nicolas/Newport Roads, Cheltenham/Kensington Roads, Attercliffe Road, Albermarle Road/Gresford Close and Reynard/Reeves Roads. Other schemes are in the pipeline.

There had been delays with some of the schemes as it was a legal requirement to get 100% support from residents before a scheme could go ahead. Recent changes to the law mean it is now possible for a scheme to go ahead where the overwhelming majority of residents are in favour. The police support alley gating schemes as they are shown to have a positive impact on reducing crime in the area.
