A once pleasant and relaxing leafy green space now feels like a building site.

The pole in the picture would appeal to them as it is over egging the pudding.</p> <p>Actually cut through the park today on the diagonal from shandon margiotta End, tiny space at the dropped kerb that I managed to get through, often car parked right across. One car parked adjacent to bins so sticks out. Path quite frosty so took it slowly.
