Huntley Drive gating scheme

John Fareham and John Abbott have details of a proposed gating scheme for the Huntley Drive tenfoot. When the idea of a gating scheme was first mooted a couple of years ago, objections were raised on the advice of Council officers who thought there might be legal difficulties with closing off the tenfoot, as a right of way could exist. Police evidence, we are told, suggests unauthorised vehicles are now accessing the tenfoot and we believe we have to compromise. However, as a result of discussions held at the meeting on Baker’s Field, plans are now being formulated for a gating scheme that would block the tenfoot off to unauthorised vehicles but would allow pedestrians such as those wishing to walk their dogs on Baker’s Field to get through. We are in a position to offer significant funding from our community budget and will circulate further details if residents back the scheme.
