Many residents are unhappy about the extended use of the park for large-scale concerts and public events.

Residents suffer ASB and a severe reduction in their quality of life due to effects like

People using their gardens as toilet or sick buckets, the noise radiates around the park.

Families and individuals cannot use the park as normal with their children or just for sunbathing on the grass to get some rejuvenation time.

Cllr Francis announced on his Twitter that the call in will be heard within the next couple of weeks by the Overview and Scrutiny Committee.

For those wanting to pick up complaints, the Council now has also a ASB Review procedure. See their website.
