Background / Purpose
As you will be aware, Central Hill Estate is a target for illegal fly-tippers who frequently dump large amounts of rubbish onto the estate. More often than not, the rubbish is dumped by people who do not live on the estate.
We have added some mobile CCTV cameras to certain hot-spots. Whilst these cameras can lead to penalty fines for offenders, they can not prevent illegal fly-tippers from entering the estate.
Many of the biggest rubbish dumps have been along the Prospect blocks on Oakwood Drive, which is the road that runs through the estate and is currently accessible to anyone.
By installing a rising bollard at each end of Oakwood Drive and introducing a fob entry system for valid car users who live on the estate, we can prevent unauthorised vehicles from accessing Oakwood Drive.
We hope that this action will greatly reduce the amount of fly-tipping on the estate. It would also mean that we can move some of the mobile cameras onto other parts of the estate which are still being impacted by fly-tipping.
If the bollards are installed, there would be no cost to tenants or leaseholders.
If a majority of residents are in favour of having the bollards installed, we will move ahead with this immediately and will write to you regarding arrangements to collect your access fob(s), should you require one.
