Three gates locked overnight for weekend safety at Penarth
Athletic Ground
In response to the safety concerns of local residents and
users, three gates at Penarth Athletic Ground will be locked from
dusk until 8:00am on Friday and Saturday nights for a trial period
from Friday 7 December until the end of January 2008.
The exception to this will be the Lavernock Road main entrance
gate, which will remain open. The locked gates will all be clearly
signed.
The trial locking is in response to consultation by the Vale of
Glamorgan Council and South Wales Police with local residents
during a PACT meeting in Penarth at which concerns were raised over
continual youth annoyance, vandalism and anti social behaviour in
the area.
Following the trial period, the Vale Council and South Wales
Police will discuss the benefits of locking the gates and other
ways to make the park safer for its users.
If you have any queries, please call 02920 673000 and ask for
the Vale Council's parks and grounds maintenance section.
