Gates on Highfield Road
Just off N. Acton Recreation ground there's a triangle between the two legs of Highfield Road and Northfield Road (they weren't very imaginative when they named the roads round here) It's mostly a very rough and overgrown track that provides access to the back fences and gates of perhaps two dozen houses. Very convenient for residents and, sadly, burglars (as I know to some personal cost) I've never been entirely sure who owns it, although I do know there's a right of access. Anyway, the burglars. Presumably because of multiple break-ins from the rear, within the couple of months, heavy black gates have appeared at the main vehicle entrance on Highfield Road and at the narrow alleyways. So far it's just the gates, with no actual locks.Bit of a long shot but does anyone else live round this way who knows anything about this? Like when will the locks be installed and what are the arrangements for key distribution and security?Come to that, there are similar gates on quite a few alleyways round this area. Anyone know how those schemes work?
