One question asks what we would prefer for communal space on site A. Both the MUGA and play area will be smaller than before. This will give us a little strip of grass. Taking down the fence at the edge of the park gives access to the bank of the ditch. This is really steep. How do we want to use this new communal space?

The only space for free play will be on site B:

This will not be visible from the play area and MUGA. The police have said that this is not safe for unaccompanied children. It is difficult to understand why our community no longer deserves a recreation ground. If they build on Bertie, which recreation ground will be next?
