Barnfield: Oakhill Park bowling green issues addressed

Several issues have been raised with Peel and Barnfield Councillors regarding antisocial behaviour at Oakhill Park bowling green.

Cllr June Harrison said, "We have been made aware of people abusing the facility and it is aggravating a lot of the bowlers. We are actively looking for funding to erect a tasteful fence around the area to prevent future incidents."

Cllr Ken Moss, who is Cabinet Member for Parks, said, "I've had reports of people playing football on the lawn, riding bikes across it, even having picnics on it. We are asking for a bit of respect for the bowling green and its users but unfortunately this is not what we are getting. I have spoken to the Barnfield Councillors and we are looking to find the money to fence the green off and prevent further incidents."
