There are currently two kissing gates to restrict scrambler bikes from accessing Knockmitten Park from Monastery Gate Close. There are however none to prevent scramblers accessing Knockmitten Park from Monastery Gate Villas via the footpath that is located at the rear of the IBIS Hotel Car Park and Mount Talbot apartment block. Recently, scramblers have used this footpath to ride at high speed between Monastery Gate and Knockmitten Park. Local residents have asked me why a kissing gate has never been installed on the footpath? There are currently boulders there. The residents appreciate that kissing gates are losing favour given their restrictive nature, but wonder if there is an inconsistency between kissing gates blocking access from Monastery Gate Close and not blocking access from Monastery Gate Villas?
