Public Rights of Way - Proposal to restrict public rights over 10 alleyways in the Leeman Road area of Holgate Ward, York

01/12/2009 - Public Rights of Way - Proposal to restrict public rights over 10 alleyways in the Leeman Road area of Holgate Ward, York

Option C.            Authorise the making of all 10 Gating Orders to restrict public use of the alleyways. Change waste collection from the rear of properties to front collection using bags on all alleyways except for those 5 streets for which objections were received regarding the proposed new methods of waste collection (see paragraph 9). These alleyways will operate a central collection point for bags  to be situated outside the gated area for a trial period of three months. This option is recommended.

 

RESOLVED:   That the Executive Member approves Option C, but excluding Bright Street/Kingsland Terrace, and authorises the Director of City Strategy to instruct the Head of Civic, Democratic and Legal Services to make Gating Orders over the remaining 9 alleyways in accordance with Section 129A of the Highways Act 1980, as amended. Waste collection will change from the rear of properties to the front of properties using bags on all alleys except those 5 for which objections were received expressing concern regarding the proposed new methods of waste collection. These alleyways will operate a central collection point for bags to be situated outside the gated area.

 

REASON:                  In order that public rights over the alleyways can be restricted under S129A, Highway Act 1980 so that crime and anti social behaviour associated with these routes can be reduced.
