Good news from today’s meeting with police – there has been some enforcement of the “no entry except for access” rule on Gatley’s South Park Road estate and there will be more.

The transport police, based in Eccles, who are the first people to do this sort of enforcement have been asked and have shown no interest.

Now our neighbourhood police have stood in and have started enforcing the rule.

I’ve asked Inspector Steve Gilbertson to ensure that this continues.  No-one’s expecting police to be permanently positioned on the estate – there are other issues to deal with too – but it does need to be an ongoing process.
