Pedestrian Underpasses & Footpath Boundaries — SG1
SG1 covers Stevenage's New Town estates, built with a network of pedestrian paths and underpasses separate from the road system.
Frequently asked — SG1
Why is a footpath-facing fence different from a garden-to-garden one?
It faces public pedestrian traffic at any hour, which raises different climb-resistance and sightline questions than a boundary shared with one neighbour.
Should a gate onto a Stevenage footpath be lockable?
Where a gate opens directly onto a public path, a secure lock is generally worth having rather than treating it as an informal side gate.
Does the current fence line always match the legal footpath boundary?
Not always — it's worth checking against the council's path records rather than assuming an existing fence marks the correct line.
