We want to keep our community informed about some ongoing issues affecting the café and the park.

Over recent weeks, we have experienced repeated incidents of antisocial behaviour, including vandalism, abuse towards staff, damage to the public toilets, and behaviour that has made both our team and visitors feel uncomfortable and, at times, unsafe.

Please be assured that we are not ignoring these issues. We work closely behind the scenes with the relevant authorities, park representatives, and local organisations, and every incident is reported and recorded. We also have CCTV footage, which is retained and shared with the appropriate agencies when required.

We kindly ask everyone to treat our staff and this wonderful community space with respect. The café and park are here for everyone to enjoy, and we are committed to keeping them welcoming and safe.

Thank you to everyone who continues to support us, report concerns, and show kindness to our team. Your support is genuinely appreciated.
