Park shame

HAS anyone else noticed the state of our parks? On the Easter weekend I took some visitors to Alexandra Park.

I was embarrassed by the graffiti, litter, smashed bottles and empty beer cans. There is not a bench that has not been graffitied on or vandalised. I was even more embarrassed when my visitors asked: "How much council tax are you paying for this?"

My reply - £104 a month! Where is it going?
