I am in full agreement with Lyn Sparks' letter (Park must be closed after dark). I have written many letters requesting that Fairland's Park be locked at night like most other parks.

I know it has a cut-through for pedestrians, but there are other ways to get from North Cheam to the Park Farm Estate and I don't think the council makes allowances for the fact that groups that cut through the park and then stop on the corners of the local roads saying goodbye and exchanging conversations about the evening they have just had (usually extra loud due to drink), wake the residents.

Perhaps the local councillors who have been to see the number of kids in the park at night could petition the council to close the park at dusk as all the other parks do. I must just add however, that the majority of people that make excessive noise in the middle of the night in my road, especially in the summer, are adults.
