16:1:1: The original Radburn layout of the estate was designed to restrict vehicular access with the safety of pedestrians in mind.

16:1:2: The number of car owners has increased dramatically since the estate was planed. See appendix 16:1:D and 16:1:E.

16:2: The tenants have, using the minor works budget, arranged to have a substantial number of anti-traffic bollards strategically installed on the estate because of problems of cars and motor-bikes driving on the footpaths within the estate.

16:3:1: The layout out of the estate means the car drivers find it very hard to find safe parking places for their vehicles.

16:3:2: There is very little secure parking of any kind available.

16:4: There is a high level of car crime from vandalism to Taken Without Owners Consent, TWOC, and car arson.

16:5:1: The layout results in a large number of alleyways providing perfect loitering areas for criminal elements.

16:5:2: The Council have now blocked off a number of the alleyways.

16:5:3: This has reduced the problems of criminals elements loitering.

16:5:4: Access has been restricted by taking this action.

16:5:5: The level of vandalism and crime are higher than it should be because of the estate design and insecure housing.

16:6:1: The poor quality doors and window are an easy target for any criminals elements. More details not listed for security reasons.
16:6:2: The tenants have arranged to invest part of the minor works budget on the fitting of door grills and locks for people who have suffered from door break-ins.

16:6:3: The insecure windows and 3 lever mortise locks also mean that it is hard, if not impossible, to insure the contents when the property is to be left empty on a regular basis. More details not listed for security reasons. See appendix 6:1 to 6:3 and 7:1 to 7:2.

16:6:4: It is not possible to secure the windows adequately. More details not listed for security reasons.

16:7:1: The Police Crime Prevention Unit recommendations were :-

16:7:2: Replace front and back doors with solid doors.

16:7:3: Fit five lever mortise locks, security bolts and access restrictors.

16:7:4: Replace all the windows of the sliding casement design.

16:8: The perceived level of crime is very high.

16:9: This adds to the stress levels for the tenants on the Fordyce Estate.

16:10: The above Police Crime Prevention Unit recommendations are unattainable for the tenants and Council because of the expense.

16:11: See appendix 7:3 and 7:4 for Police Crime Prevention Unit report.

16:12: Some of the points above are also mentioned in The Hemlington Survey.
