The alley gating scheme assists local residents in securing their privately-owned alleyways against intrusion by others.
By installing lockable gates, the quality of life for residents and businesses can be dramatically improved. The gates can reduce the likelihood of burglars gaining access to the rear of properties, protect the alley from fly-tipping and other anti-social behaviour.
About our alley gating scheme
Applications can be made for alleyways that serve at least 6 households.
If successful, applicants can benefit from funding that contributes up to 90% of the cost of alley gates.
Once the gates are installed, future maintenance and ownership will be the responsibility of local residents.
If a spare key is required, we recommend speaking to your neighbours in the first instance.
Neighbourhood Watch is the biggest volunteer-led crime prevention charity in England and Wales. With over 60,000 active volunteers and 2 million supporter households, it works within local communities to empower, educate, and unite people.
