Readers of the blog will be aware that in January this year the Council confirmed that it would NOT re-open the Common to vehicles, this despite a petition of over 1,000 signatures. However it did promise that it would improve access for the disabled, elderly and infirm. So whats the Council done to improve access for the disabled since it gave that committment in January? Yes you guessed, it absolutely nothing!
I have sent an email to the Director, and to the Head of Parks and Open Spaces, asking them why? and more importantly when will they honour that committment as can be evidenced from the minutes of the meeting which can be read by clicking here. Watch this space for more news updates on this issue………..
