Lincoln passageway to close due to antisocial behaviour

St Peter’s Passage off Lincoln High Street could be closed after complaints were made to the City Council of antisocial behaviour, including defecation, urination and sexual activities.

The results of a four-week consultation are to be presented to a council scrutiny committee today and, if it is agreed, then the passage will be fenced off under a Public Space Protection Order.

The passage provides a connection between the High Street and Mint Lane, however gates may be installed to restrict access, with exceptions made for businesses and emergency services.
