Southfield Road tenfoot access

John Fareham and John Abbott wish to know whether residents of Southfield Road would wish to see access from Murrayfield Road via the tenfoot blocked off.

Given the current level of concern about crime and anti-social behaviour, and having introduced a number of gating schemes elsewhere in the ward over the years, we have asked the officers for details of how such a scheme would go forward and how much it would cost. The process would be less costly than the Traffic Regulation Orders we have obtained elsewhere, and would simply involve the posting of legal notices on site for 28 days, after which, if nobody objected, the scheme could go ahead, but we wanted to run the idea past local residents informally before deciding whether to proceed, thereby saving the public purse the possible cost of starting the scheme without knowing for sure whether it commanded public support.
