Attached photo is the official opening of the fabulous new Shawbury Court Gates. Previously this area was ungated with lots of anti-social behaviour and access to the Shawbury Court flats above a number of Lordship Lane shops. Real problems of urination, defecation and worse.

So the gates are expected to remove this problem from these residents and businesses.

Picture show Cllr  Jonathan Mitchell, Madeleine one of the residents who led the coordination of businesses and residents to contribute to the gates and the artist Heather Burrell whose team made and installed her design.

The funding was 50% business/residents and 50% Southwark council via locally decided Cleaner, Greener, Safer funding. East Dulwich councillors are particularly keen on crime prevention and were delighted to encourage and support this scheme.

Where else do we need to gate and remove anti-social behaviour in East Dulwich?
