Open Bowring Park Changing Rooms Car Park

Bowring Park Car Park, off Herbert Avenue is locked, except when the Changing Room facilities are in use. This 30 space car park is much needed by the increasing number of park users who otherwise have to leave their cars in the road.

This petition calls on Telford & Wrekin Council to unlock this car park so that it can be used by all visitors to the park. The Council currently refuse to allow this car park to be used due to an apparent historic agreement with neighbours in the houses adjacent that it would only be opened when the Changing Rooms were in use.

This is an appalling act of NIMBYism (Not In My Back Yard syndrome). Bowring Park was gifted to the people of Wellington by the Bowring family for all to use. This petition demands that the Car Park is unlocked so that visitors to the park can use it.
