More than £100,000 will be pumped into trying to tackle fly-tipping, burglary, anti-social behaviour and drug use.

Alleyways will be gated in a bid to stop fly-tipping and burglaries and Enfield council's £100,000 budget for tackling the problems will be doubled.

Cabinet member for environment, Cllr Daniel Anderson, said: “This is a brilliant scheme that delivers excellent results and plays a huge role in reducing fly tipping, anti-social behaviour and burglary in our borough.

"It is understandably popular with residents and we have taken the decision to expand the scheme this year to make residents feel safer, keep the borough cleaner and make it harder for people with mischief in mind to commit anti-social acts.”

The council has gated more than 435 alleys in the borough to try and stop anti-social behaviour.
