Residents living in and around the community field, located to the rear of Norwood School, have complained to local LIB DEM ward councillor, Darren Fower, that the gates to the field have been locked all summer, preventing them and their children from enjoying the facility during the summers months.

Commenting, Darren explained:

“Residents have raised their concerns via email, Facebook and at our regular ward surgery. It seems that despite previous agreements that the field would be open to the public, outside of school hours, this agreement has not been kept. Why this is I have no idea?

“I have now messaged the City Council and the School to find out what t he reason why this is? If we need some new key holders, or if their is a communication break down this needs to be restored for the benefit of the local community and young people.”
