    Seen some "older" kids enjoying a tipple and hanging out after dark. Maybe a short lived event. Either way nothing a high powered sodium lamp overhead wouldn't sort...

    Passed by yesterday afternoon

    It's definitely being well used

    It was so much easier to blame it on Them. It was bleakly depressing to think that They were Us. If it was Them, then nothing was anyone's fault. If it was us, what did that make Me? After all, I'm one of Us. I must be. I've certainly never thought of myself as one of Them. No one ever thinks of themselves as one of Them. We're always one of Us. It's Them that do the bad things.

    Also passed it yesterday, from the road could already see a collection of litter starting. Hoping this was just a once off.

    Could the person who is letting their dog sh1te in the children's playground please stop.

    Twice in the last week my toddler has stood on dogs dirt inside the playground. I cleaned it as much as possible today but it's ridiculous that this can happen.

    I think everybody needs to keep an eye out and run this person and dog if seen!!!

    A dog can't get in the gate by themselves and definitely can't jump the fence so there is someone letting the dog in. Please stop.

    I know this is a bit of a rant but it's too serious to let happen as the playground is a fantastic amenity to have on our doorsteps for our children.

    That is beyond ridiculous, you are completely right to have a rant. It's bad enough that there is Dog Sh1te all around the Greens but actually inside the Playground too, it's unacceptable.

    People letting a dog crap in a playground that's rotten, just as rotten as the litany of people who dump plastic bags full of the sh1t they've gathered around the estate.
