Police probe Alfreton Town F.C regarding poor safety fencing

Police are being urged to probe crowd safety at Alfreton Town FC’s stadium following trouble with supporters during a match against Grimsby Town.

The court heard that fans kicked and pushed temporary safety fencing segregating rival supporters on the Alma Street enclosure on January 7.

Presiding magistrate David Sobjak said: “We are very concerned about the adequacy of the segregation. The fencing was flimsy and, had it given way, there could have been a much more serious incident. We would appreciate it if the police would speak to Alfreton Town Football Club about supporter safety.”

Controversy as local council approve metal fencing hire in Plymouth

A controversial footpath through Ridgeway School in Plympton, Plymouth has taken a new twist after the Council approved plans to install a perimeter fence.

The school originally asked the council to remove the footpath, known as Geasons Lane, saying the path was at the centre of antisocial behaviour and hampered efforts to improve security.

However, it now seems that the Council believe metal metal fencing hire was placed around the path will be the answer.

The issue became the subject of a public inquiry as the battle waged for over 30 years between Ridgeway School, local residents and access campaign groups.

Scottish Labour Candidate calls for hillside safety fencing

Alison Evison, the Scottish Labour Candidate for North Kincardine, has been acting on the concerns of Hillside residents about safety of a footpath in the area.

Many children use the path on their way to school and some have been seen to play on bicycles and with balls in the area.

There is no safety fencing separating the path from the busy A90 and parents are concerned that an accident could easily happen.
Recent fog emphasised the potential for a disaster at the location.

Alison Evison commented: “Safety should always be a prime concern. Yet it seems to have been overlooked in this case. When the planning brief for Hillside was originally produced, there was much talk about ‘Safer routes to school’.”

Thieves target metal fences in Gloucestershire park

Scrap metal thieves are being blamed for the theft of fencing from a park in Tewkesbury, Gloucestershire.

Residents were stunned to find six metal panels and two metal posts had been removed from the recreational area that is popular within the local area.

Shelby Powell, who lives on the estate, said: “The posts have been ripped out, even though they were concreted in, and at least two visits have been made. We think they are being taken for their scrap metal value.

“It’s a real disappointment as it’s a popular area with play equipment and a large field for youngsters to enjoy as well as a popular dog walking route.”

Mark Peters, chairman of Wheatpieces Parish Council, confirmed that the suspicions regarding the theft: “Having spoken to the police, they believe people may be stealing these things for scrap metal. If it had been vandals, you would have expected to have found the items quite close by.”

Mr Peters said the borough council would pay for the metal fencing to be repaired.

Heras fencing to be installed on proposed Tesco site

A metal fence is to be put up around the site of the proposed new Tesco superstore in Cupar, Fife.

The land will remain vacant until at least January, when the supermarket giant will review its plans for the much-delayed store.

It is believed that the company will use heras fencing to secure the site.

Tesco’s corporate affairs manager, Douglas Wilson, said: “We will be fencing and securing the site shortly and cleaning up the litter on the site at the same time.”
