I suspect leaving the parks open at night will encourage more anti social behavior.

The antisocial behaviour and vandalism which would be inevitable from having parks open 24 hours will end up costing the council more to rectify in the long run

Keeping gates open is a vandals' charter

Enfield parks are the gems in the borough. Leaving the. Unlocked at night will make them vulnerable to vandalism and open to abuse.

The parks should be locked up at night. Keeping the open will only result in anti social behaviour, crime and the destruction of the much loved parks like Bury Lodge. This park is taken care of by volunteers whom give up their time and effort to make it look amazing.

Parks left open will invite all sorts of untoward behaviour which will end up costing the council much more than it will save.

Nob body uses the park at night time. Don’t be so silly and rethink.

This is a short sighted decision that will cost more in the long term due to repairs to the park caused by Anti-Social Behaviour. Parks will then in turn be unwelcome and unpleasant places to visit.

It would be the wrong decision to leave the parks open all night. Any hoped-for savings would almost certainly be more then wiped out by costs associated with vandalism, etc.

Parks should be locked for 12 hours and open for 12 irrespective of the time of year. This would give maximum access to park users including runners.

Parks will once again become a night playground for yobbos if they are not locked. We do not wish to return to the mayhem that we suffered for 17 years with ASB just behind our back gardens in Aldersbrook

Such a bad idea, all for the sake of trying to save a few quid.

it's difficult to see how this decision could have been reached if a proper risk analysis had been undertaken. More money will be lost due to vandalism than will be saved.
