Morriston Liberal Democrats have written to the Council regarding broken glass in Ynystawe Park and Morriston Park, and are calling on the Council to investigate whether current park policies are effective enough to keep parks in Swansea safe to use for members of the public.
Helen Ceri Clarke said: “Like many other parents, my husband and I take our child to play in parks, and find it unacceptable for there to be broken glass in play areas and on paths. Some play areas are rendered unusable due to the sheer amount of broken glass within them and the danger it poses. There is also a large colony of rats living next to the duck pond in Morriston park.”
Dean Stone added: “Broken glass in parks represents a danger to all members of the public, as well as dogs being walked. We call on the people causing this broken glass to be more civic minded, and more aware of the risk their actions pose to others.”
Jonathan Clarke said: “We call on the Council to ensure that the amount of broken glass within the parks of Swansea is kept to a minimum, and that all efforts are made to remove any rat infestations. With the summer on its way, it will be a busy time for Morriston’s parks, and we want everyone to be able to use them safely.”
