Safety fencing can cause problems as this news report shows: Arsenal Football Clubs plans to put up a huge metal security fence two metres inside residents gardens stalled this week as the club was told to find a ratcatcher. The clubs application for permission to install the fence  taking up to a quarter of each garden was sent back to the drawing board at Islington Councils east area planning committee meeting at the Town Hall on Tuesday. The fence is needed to protect neighbours during work on a homes and sports centre development at Queensland Road, Highbury. The club has to provide 24-hour security. Although residents in Bryantwood Road, which backs onto the site, accept a fence has to go up, they protested en masse at Tuesdays meeting. Neighbours are furious that the fence, standing 2.2 metres high, could be there for up to two years.
