Our play parks are closed - 30th March Update
30 March 2020
We're in the middle of a pandemic, where government have issued clear rules on what you can and can't do in order to prevent the spread of the pandemic.
We know that chaining up the gates of some of our play areas makes no sense because the fences are so low you can step over them. We know that removing the play equipment because a minority of selfish people think the rules are for other people means diverting staff and resouces from other places where they are more urgently required.
Despite the government telling people to stay home and to not use play areas, and us telling people all our play areas are closed, we're still getting reports of families using play areas like Flagstaff Park on the weekend.
Flagstaff Park is covered by CCTV. If you use the play park, and you're identifiable from the CCTV footage, the images will be handed to the police. We'll keep doing that if we have to, until the message sinks in. Please, help us keep our community safe, and stay out of the play parks.
