I have written to the senior managment at Matthew Homes to express my disappointment that urgent safety work in Earls Park (such as the fence pictured above) has not been carried out yet. Whilst I am pleased to see that the litter bins have been emptied now, they need to be emptied more frequently, and other maintenance in the parks needs to be carried out.

The two play parks in Earls Park were inspected by Gloucester City Council earlier this year, with a view to adopting them when complete. They are unfortunately a long way off, with dead trees, broken play equipment and poorly maintained paths. The council have written to Matthew Homes to remind them of what they need to complete.
