No full textA Word about Gates
Alleys (snickets, ginnels, backways) are particularly common in British industrial
cities and were originally designed to allow access to the rear of properties by
coalmen and refuse collectors. Although many alleys are no longer used for their
original purpose, they are still useful to allow residents to access the rear of their
properties without walking through their house. This can be particularly helpful when
gardening or carrying out DIY.
Alley-gating involves the installation of lockable gates across these alleys,
preventing access to the alley for those without a key. Although predominantly a
crime reduction measure, alley-gating has the potential to do more than reduce
crime; it can increase community confidence, improve the aesthetic appearance of an
area, re-invigorate schemes such as Residents’ Associations and Neighbourhood
Watch and reduce levels of worry and fear about crime and anti-social behaviour.
Although it has the potential to achieve more than crime reduction, it should be
stressed that alley-gating is a crime reduction measure, which is targeted at alleys
which are experiencing high levels of crime and anti-social behaviour, or are being
used to facilitate crime and disorder. It is not designed to limit freedom or constrain
legitimate access.
Although alley-gating does involve the installation of lockable gates, it is important
that readers do not confuse alley-gating with gated communities. Alley-gating
simply closes off the rear or side of properties for those without legitimate access. It
does not create a closed community and people can still access the rest of the
neighbourhood without using the alley. Alley-gates are rarely installed in alleys
which are currently used as through routes, and where this is the case, detailed
consideration is given towards the impact on existing users. Although gated
communities involve the use of similar security measures, they are very different.
Gated communities involve closing whole neighbourhoods to non-residents
immediately creating a ‘them’ and ‘us’. In gated communities non-residents are
excluded from large spaces which had previously been public open spaces simply
because they do not live within the community

Alley-gating revisited: the sustainability of resident's satisfaction
No full textAlleys (snickets, ginnels, backways) are particularly common in British industrial cities
and were originally designed to allow access to the rear of properties by coalmen and
refuse collectors. Although alleys are still useful to allow residents access to the rear of
their property without walking through the house, they also provide a means of entry and
escape for offenders. Alley-gating is a crime reduction measure that involves the
installation of a lockable gate across an alley, preventing access for anyone who does not
have a key. This paper presents the findings of a study undertaken to examine the
sustainability of Liverpoool s Alley-gating scheme (a robust evaluation of Liverpool s
scheme was undertaken in 2002 see Young et al, 2003; Bowers et al, 2004). It
specifically reports on the results of a residents survey undertaken in gated and nongated
areas. The findings are compared with those from 2002. The results suggest that the
positive impacts on perceptions of crime and anti-social behaviour, and experience of
crime and anti-social behaviour have been maintained over a four year period in

Alley coppice-a new system with ancient roots
No full textContext: Current production from natural forests will not satisfy future world demand for timber and fuel wood, and new land management options are required. Aims: We explore an innovative production system that combines the production of short rotation coppice in wide alleys with the production of high-value trees on narrow strips of land; it is an alternative form of alley cropping which we propose to call 'alley coppice'. The aim is to describe this alley coppice system and to illustrate its potential for producing two diverse products, namely high-value timber and energy wood on the same land unit. Methods: Based on a comprehensive literature review, we compare the advantages and disadvantages of the alley coppice system and contrast the features with well-known existing or past systems of biomass and wood production. Results: We describe and discuss the basic aspects of alley coppice, its design and dynamics, the processes of competition and facilitation, issues of ecology, and areas that are open for future research. Conclusion: Based on existing knowledge, a solid foundation for the implementation of alley coppice on suitable land is presented, and the high potential of this system could be shown
