In an effort to ensure the safety of park users and prevent damage to the field, the Parish Council has considered various options to address ongoing issues and recent incidents involving motorbikes in Jubilee Park.
These options included installing motorbike inhibitor barriers at all five park entrances. However, the total cost was deemed excessive and likely to impede access for double buggies and accessibility vehicles.
After reviewing CCTV footage in collaboration with local police, a “race track” of sorts was identified running through the park and onto the canal bank.
In light of this, the Council has reluctantly decided to close the entrance in the far corner adjacent to the canal bank.
We appreciate that this entrance is convenient for canal access, but we have been left with few alternatives and believe that the safety of park users must take priority. We hope park users understand the reasoning behind this decision.
