We are used to the rubbish being scattered by dogs and birds from the topless bins and the bottles and broken glass among the bark chippings.

But this week there was an extra horror - human excrement near the large slide.

Subsequently we decided to leave.

Could the council not put a high fence and lockable gate on the park and open it from 7am until 7pm like a lot of other public areas?

That may stop the on-going problem of cut fingers and knees.

I'm sure the new roof will look better on the public toilets but maybe there will be some money left over for the children's area?
