Making this report as the greenspace here is serious unkempt. The nettles are over 6ft tall proving to be obstacles and barriers for walkers, even my dog won't go through. There are numerous weeds causing problems. The water streams are inundated with litter, tyre, trolleys, bicycles, and rubbish. The paths are littered i.e. food packaging, wine bottles, and actual food.

The cow parsley had gone insane and caused problems.

The rivers by the other side has an oily scum which is harming wildlife due to the litter and fallen debris that's starting to rot.

Im aware of the "rewilding" projects but that's an excuse to not carry out maintenance. Some areas of the park are now inaccessible, the river smells because of pollutants and dead fish. The birds have stopping coming to the stream because of the filth. Its disgusting, overgrown, harmful (as overgrowth encourages tick populations which are bad for dogs). It remains unkempt and as such people are abusing it. If it was kept nice, trim, and looked after, people may think twice before littering, causing damage, and killing wildlife.

This park is disgusting and whilst I could come here and sort it out, I shouldn't have to as I pay my council tax that should pay for these services.

The bridge still hasn't been repaired after 4 months neither.
