Disrupted Sunday
The peace of a Sunday relaxing for the week ahead yesterday, Sunday 16 August was wrecked by loud thumping music in the park, with a group of people and families enjoying barbeques and a get together - this started at lunchtime and continued without respite until 9.20pm when rain stopped play. Hard to believe that the amount of people gathered would meet the current social distancing rules. I was upset to see this morning as a final gesture of utter disregard for residents who live around the park - a large amount of rubbish and black sacks left behind where people had congregated.
Please respect our right to enjoy our Sundays as well - and if you are having a get together please do this in the middle of the park - away from the edge of the park and residents homes - and turn the volume level down - other people do not want to listen to the noise, particularly a thumping base. It felt like the party was in my home - not in the park.
We are happy that people enjoy Hillyfields park - it is a park for all the community near and far - but yesterday was not a good experience for the people who live around the park - and it's not fair that we then have to clear up the mess left behind by thoughtless people.
