Full council record

Decision

The Area Committee has given approval to the allocation of £4,880 from the Delegated Budget (Cheadle West & Gatley ward allocation) for the purchase and installation of a heavy duty swing beam vehicle height control barrier at William Scholes Park entrance off Beech Avenue, Gatley, SK8 4LT, to improve site security.

Alternative options considered

Width restrictions were considered but discounted as they would restrict access for council contractors, maintenance vehicles and emergency services. Removable bollards were also considered but would provide a less visible deterrent and were often less secure than a height barrier.
