Lane gating

Lane gating, also known as alley gating, is a simple crime prevention measure that involves erecting lockable gates at the ends of alley-ways and passages that are the responsibility of the home owners who live around them.

The benefits of lane gating schemes include:

• extra security to prevent domestic burglary opportunities
• restricted access to prevent anti-social behaviour
• creation of safe play areas for children
• improved community spirit and a sense of shared ownership
