Petition details
Allow residents to access green spaces on estates
The council have been asked about this for over 3 years and the answer is always that they are looking into it. Caretakers have keys to the gates but have been instructed not to open them unless to cut the grass or clean up rubbish.
This Petition ran from 13/01/2021 to 11/03/2021 and has now finished.
One person signed this Petition.
Council response
I write with regards to access to green areas on your estate, I called you today to discuss this and left a message for you to call me.
I note you lodged a petition with the Council, they have advised us that this only attracted one signature so it will not be debated at the Full Council meeting.
Our reply on this subject last July, where we said Mark Ecclestone, Neighbourhood Housing Officer advised you he would organise a consultation with residents, as giving direct access could cause nuisance and anti-social behaviour due to the very close proximity to a number of properties.
Due to the on-going lockdown, unfortunately Mark has not been able to do this.
I have however, in the message I left you suggested we could meet to discuss the issue, social distancing of course, on the estate tomorrow morning as I am in the area.
