Security boost as alleygates scheme is extended
September 29, 2009 12:00 AM
Security is set to be improved as £15,000 is put into extending an East Leeds alleygating scheme.
Direct consultation with residents has led to additional money being used to provide extra security for residents in Back Cross Green Crescent. The scheme is supported by West Yorkshire Police who compiled crime statistics for the area.
In the six months period to March/April 2009 there have been a total of 166 priority
crimes within a 500m radius of Back Cross Green Crescent. It is hoped this money will reduce the number of crimes taking place in the area as well as give peace of mind to local residents.
Cllr David Hollingsworth (Lib Dem, Burmantofts and Richmond Hill) said:
"Whilst we were consulting residents about an alleygating scheme in Cross Green Lane residents expressed their concerns about security in Back Cross Green Crescent. We listened and have used money from our Area Committee's well-being fund to finance the project. It is important that people feel safe in their homes."
