Palmerston Residents Association

The Palmerston Residents Association can report the Council has once more closed the gate to half open as our photograph shows.
This photograph was taken on the 28th September 2008, we had hoped that the Council had at last removed the bar to make access through the gate for the disabled and young mothers with prams much easier.
We can confirm that the Council did open the gate to its full extent until a couple of weeks ago once more we have to ask the question who is the real friend of Victoria Park.
The Council restricts the community the full use of the park and makes it difficult for young mothers with prams and the disabled the right of entry to the Public Park by blocking the gate half open. we can also confirm that the toilet block has now been closed for approximately 13 years and is still locked to the public, even though an offical spoke to the chairmam of the Residents Association in June this year. At the time he stated he would try and do somthing to have the toilets opened but it was all down to the cost of having them cleaned that may stop them from being opened.
We ask the Council what price do they put on our childrens lives when parents  have to let their children go to the toilet in the bushes. We have to ask them do they care about our disabled and senior Citizens who also cannot have the use of the toilets.
