Alley gating is a very simple crime preventative measure which involves erecting steel, self locking gates to the ends of alley-ways and passages that are the responsibility of the home owners who live around them.
There are a number of other advantages in addition to reducing the levels of burglaries which include:
reduced opportunities for youths to cause annoyance - This could mean anything from drinking in the alleys to taking drugs
fewer problems of dog fouling by stray dogs
safe play areas for children
improved community spirit giving a sense of ownership of the alleys
