Preserve our park: A call for joint council and community maintenance of the parklands connecting the end of Cairngorm st and Alabaster drive

We don't need it keep it green

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

100% behind you on these comments as it is a great community parkland enjoyed by many. Absolutely needs to be maintained so it’ll continue to be enjoyed by all.

Open spaces are important for locals & this space is convenient & maintained by locals. I support this petition x

Protect our community green areas and inform the community of any change to its upkeep

Green space definitely required.

Exercise is important. This is an opportunity for council to come to the party in not only keeping a community heathy and active. But to enhance living standards for locals.

This is a valuable space and I can't see any valid reason for it not to be maintained.

Please allow this valued community member to resume his excellent volunteer role as gardener of our green space corner of Alabaster Drive and Plateau Crescent where I live. Sincerely Maggie Kerr

This space should continue to be well maintained, the community effort was amazing and needed since council didn’t upkeep it very frequently. This space is heavily used but the community and also a necessity considering it backs onto the reservation to minimise snakes and other wildlife coming into our yards and potential being harmed buy dogs etc. someone had rats nearby and to stop this areas just need to be well maintained!

As being residents of Carrara since 1987 this area is vital, my husband used to ride down there when he was a child and when we moved into the family home our own children used to ride t hrough it and access the fields to play. Stopping a citizen from doing something helpfull to the community is a big part of what is wrong with society now. The council enviromental section are either under staffed or it's contracted to another company which aren't doing their job. Prime example is the clean up after the christmas storms. I can't see how land not owned by the complaintents or the body corporate of the complex could have such pull to get this person fined if he didn't stop doing it.

Hmmm so many folks from our community have gotten in an created wonderful care, creation, maintenance- only to be stopped ... so now it's back to you folks ... thankyou in advance ☆

It looked lovely when cared for and made it safer to use as a walkway.

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.

We should be extended this park, not discouraging people to not use it.

This is an area that is used by residents, as access, picnics etc, it needs to be maintained by council now.

Please allow this lovely volunteer to continue his good work.

Yes .. plse
