Has anyone else been annoyed by the new locked gate, which stops pedestrians walking from Burlington Lane to Staveley Road through that posh estate? I've strolled through there for years, and now everyone has to go the long way round. This trend towards privatisation of urban space is sinister, annoying and part of our march towards a less equal society, in which poor people are excluded from much of what used to be the public realm. |
