Parks
Questions

"To ask the Manager to report on potential solutions to the problem caused by freedom of access for scrambler bikes and other vehicles to Greenhills Park through the public entrance at the side of Greenhills College (adjacent to Temple Manor Close) and the resultant damage to pitches in Greenhills Park, taking into account that any such solutions should avoid impeding access of those who are disabled to the park?"
