It's peculiar the priorities the council have - they happily ignore the state of the hard landscaping and surfacing in our school playground while they give you a hard time for a swing, bench and some insect houses etc. My point being although the school playground is more likely to injure the children they don't act to remedy the problem as they're insured.
could you say where the community garden is actually sited? (oh...and it should read "our Community Garden - citing the use of such items are not covered liably")
Re:
Meadowfield. Thankyou for grammatical input, couldn't correct once posted.
Would glue/beer cans, syringes and graffiti be preferable?
Let the people take pride in and enjoy their amenity space. Common sense surely must prevail.
Re:
In the interest of keeping good relations and despite our bug hotel being present for over a year (in the top corner of picture), it would seem concern has been brought to our attention that this may cause wall damage to neighbouring property.
As this is entirely biodegradable material I'm fairly certain this would not cause wall damage and is environmentally friendly not to mention very educational, however as long as nothing is hibernating in this habitat I'm sure it can be moved without too much bother and is not an entirely unreasonable request.
Re: Re:
Update : talks appear to have shifted somewhat from a council threat regarding liability, to one or two general complaints that this area is being used by children to exercise their Right to Play! The definition of "amenity space" clearly states playarea. Even if we are disputing the space as a 'community garden' children do have this right regardless.
Play is an important part of learning and developing. Outside play spaces give ample opportunity for socialising. These spaces are needed. Why take away an area children enjoy and are familiar with ?.
