We, the undersigned, are passionate advocates for the preservation and enhancement of our beloved local park the connects the end of Cairngorm street and Alabaster drive in Carrara. Our park serves as a vital green space for our community, providing a place for dogs to be walked, children to commute to school, sports fans to access local events, and residents to connect with nature. However, we have observed a decline in its maintenance and upkeep over recent months, leading to concerns about its long-term sustainability and appeal.

We believe that the responsibility for maintaining our park should be shared between the local council and the community. While the council plays a crucial role in allocating resources and overseeing major renovations, we recognize the invaluable contributions that community members can make in terms of regular upkeep, beautification projects, and fostering a sense of ownership and pride in our shared space.

Also, accessing the park from Alabaster drive requires navigating a hazardous stormwater drain, especially during inclement weather or periods of heavy rainfall. This poses a significant safety risk to all pedestrians entering and exiting the park

By installing a pedestrian bridge, we can provide a safe and convenient pathway for residents to access the park year-round. This bridge will not only enhance safety but also promote active lifestyles, community engagement, and the enjoyment of our green spaces.

By signing this petition, we urge the council to prioritize the maintenance of our park and allocate sufficient resources to ensure its continued upkeep.

Together, let us work hand in hand with our local council to safeguard this fantastic space for current and future generations to enjoy. Sign this petition today and join us in our mission to preserve our park for the benefit of all.

Thank you for your support in this important endeavor!

I have often enjoyed using this park as part of my morning walk. It would be a tremendous loss to our community to lose access due to it not being maintained and installing a bridge over the stormwater drain would ensure inclusivity of access.

The area in question has significantly diminished over a period of time. When we moved to cairngorm street 9 years ago it was well maintained even to the point where families were having picnics. Let’s get it back to these days Paul McGuire

I live/own one of the units that backs onto this land and am really upset this has happened. It has not only ruined a beautiful park for people to enjoy, but I am now concerned for my daughter and dogs as we are going to start getting alot of snakes on our property. This should be a concern for council and it really should be upkept for that reason. I am hoping council take this seriously and something is done to keep this land maintained.

Please keep this area mowed and maintained in conjunction with volunteers who wish to help. It is a lovely green space that is used for recreational purposes. Thank you.

Letting this area become over grown stops locals from directly accessing events at the Stadium on foot.

My townhouse backs onto this area. It's vital it's maintained to deter further snakes, provide a safe area for children, and continue to be a popular thoroughfare for pedestrians
