Ancaster Avenue tenfoot

John Fareham and John Abbott offer to support a gating scheme for the Ancaster Avenue-Fairfax Avenue tenfoot should local residents want one. The cost of such a scheme would be partly borne by local residents and all those whose back access would be affected would have to agree to it. We make the suggestion now as it has come to our attention that dog walkers who do not live locally are using this tenfoot, failing to clear up after their dogs, and becoming abusive towards local residents who object. It will not have escaped local residents’ notice that in a more general sense a gating scheme would do no harm in a crime and disorder context – it certainly hasn’t escaped ours insofar as we have put a number of gating schemes in place elsewhere in the ward.
