I feel the need to defend myself as it looks like my post was read in the wrong way. I would hate a gated community and am not against people roaming freely. I did say that a path would be great, I just wouldn't feel safe with a small alleyway, even if it was monitored... CCTV does very little when you're actually getting mugged, I should know as I was robbed walking down a street that was fully monitored, and the footage showed nothing to help investigations. (I guess I could now recieve a reply to this saying that I'm just worrying as the unfortunate happened to me, or that if I don't like small alleyways then I shouldn't use them, monitored or not)
If a wide, well lit path could be built that was overlooked by houses it would be fantastic, I just fear that with the current rise of criminal occurances around Taymount that a small dark alleyway could attract more trouble.
