Alley gates installed in Bognor
Alley gates are now in place in Hastings Close in Bognor Regis to cut anti-social behaviour.
The crime prevention measure, which should also help to prevent criminal damager, has been championed by one of the area's police community support officers, Justina Baker.
She said: "The gates have been a long time coming and will offer a secure area for residents and Nyewood junior and infant schools during the evenings and school holidays."
