This is part of a field at the rear of mine and other houses , It was green belt land , but the local council have quietly changed it to a brown field site , enabling them to build a new school .
Since the sitting tenant who was using the land for grazing had been evicted , the field has remained open and insecure from trespass ( P1kies most likely ).
After many mails , phone calls and getting local MP involved .
This is the security they have come up with . They might as well just put the gate in the middle of the field for what good it will do

.

BTW ignore road sweeper , guy having a quiet 5mins break

Not sure that's a helpful photo. It looks like there is a solid, if tiny fenceline, and a set of silly sized gates. As long as those two meet up, and there isnt a transit sized hole, not sure what more you want. A Berlin Wall wont stop them if they want to get in, and its your council tax pennies at the end of the day.

To the right of the gate is a line of chainlink fencing which "could" fall down by accident , and oops the field was not secure , shall we just drive through there .
Not my council tax pennies , I live directly on the boundary between 2 boroughs

It's still a fence smile

And the gate looks to be "protecting" a path with a treeline to the right?

Gates look awful though. Poor job all round.

PS NP&E material? How on earth is any comment about Brexit or racism, the left or the right going to find its way in here??

It's a legal thing. If there's a locked gate then the site can be considered as having no public right of way I understand. Even if there's a big hole in the fence the locked gate gives some protection in court. I don't fully understand it, but my workplace has a similar thing.
