More details
Local residents feel that the council Will reopen the park for the members of public.
The parks is not an essential need or priority for the public to use for joggers or walking.
This could be carried out on local streets. Keeping the park open will encourage more people to use the park, more people to not follow guidelines putting others at risk. The local police do not have time or resources to monitor the park to make sure guidelines are followed. Therefore keep the park closed.
