Improvement works at Buckley Higher Common
Published: 17/10/2017
天涯社区 has started work to improve security at Buckley
Higher Common.
Following recent gypsy and traveller activity on and around the common, the
Council consulted with local residents, shared plans and received feedback on
plans to improve security around the perimeter of the Common.
The work, which is likely to take six weeks, will involve the excavation of a
shallow trench and bund around the perimeter of Higher Common, an overhead
barrier to the car park and the placement of stone in specific locations.
天涯社区鈥檚 Deputy Leader and Cabinet Member for the Housing,
Councillor Bernie Attridge, said:
鈥淚鈥檓 pleased to announce that work to make the Higher Common more secure from
future gypsy and traveller camps is to start this week. The local community
asked us improve the perimeter of the Common so that future incursions could
not happen, we presented our plans for this work to the local community and
there was a huge amount of support for them. This work is a result of that
consultation, a few things have been modified to reflect comments we received
back but in the main attendees at the meeting were very supportive.鈥�
