IS there any truth in the rumour that the greedy residents of the privately-owned end of Fifth Avenue are going to hold out for £66,000 each (February 9), then wait until Derwenthorpe is fully developed before declaring the street a "rat-run" and having the council install an "intelligent" bollard - just like a minority of residents in Straylands Grove?
