West Northampton shire Council said three alleyways in Northampton will remain gated to tackle anti-social behaviour . Three town centre alleyways are to remain closed off in a bid to prevent anti-social behaviour and crime. West Northampton shire Council said public spaces protection orders (PSPOs) covering Jeyes Jetty , Dunster Street and Marble Arch in Northampton would run for a further three years.
The alleys have been gated for a number of years, with the council "committed to tackling anti-social behaviour". Jeyes Jetty is an alleyway connecting Drapery and College Street in the town centre, which was gated in 2021 following the Dunster Street alleyway, which connects Dunster Street to St Michael's Road, was also gated in 2021. The Conservative-controlled council said the move came after the cut-through became a "hotspot" for arson, drug-dealing, fly-tipping and anti-social behaviour. Marble Arch, which connects Barrack Road and Ash Street, was first gated in 2018 due to "persistent illegal activities and anti-social behaviour" and its PSPO has been renewed for a second time
