I'm not doubting that provision of parking is desirable, but it is a tiny
park to begin with, most users will be local, and there is a derelict car
park across the road, and derelict land next to the park. Yeah I know that
these might not be useable for one reason or another, but paving over what's
left of the only green space for miles is ridiculous.
Be careful with your daughter in that park,
He wouldn't be happy about being called that! As for the needles, personally
i've never seen one and i've used the park regularly for years. Plenty of
broken glass though...
