RESIDENTS in North Ormesby are benefiting from an extension of Middlesbrough's alleygating initiative.
The latest phase of the project will see 37 new gates installed, covering more than 400 households. Access will be limited to resident key holders. This is another phase of a programme to gate alleys in older terraced housing across the town.
Councillor Barry Coppinger, executive member for Law and Order on Middlesbrough Council, said: "The Middlesbrough approach to alleygates has been recognised nationally as a pioneering method for neighbourhood renewal. The sense of security given by them and the way they help deter crime makes communities feel more confident about themselves and their environment."
