Communities Digital Questionnaire 

● Fairness: Residents feel it is unfair to restrict access they have enjoyed for decades.

● Enforcement: There are significant concerns about who will enforce rules and how antisocial behavior will be managed.

● Atmosphere: Some worry that over-policing or excessive signage will make the estate less enjoyable for everyone.

● Frustration: Some residents feel "hauled over a barrel" by historical documents they were unaware of when purchasing their property.

● Division: There is a fear that the issue is "divisive" and that over-policing could make the space "unenjoyable" for the residents it was meant to serve.
