A simple FOI request will tell you what you need to know without any spin.

the anti smoking group probably asked their mates and thats it.Common decencey dictates that you dont smoke around kids when they are playing in play areas but these anti smoking idiots dont think of that nor do they think about how the play areas are used at night by older kids some of them who will smoke and leave fag ends laying around.Its not as though they are going to get caught at night smoking on the climbing frame i dare say the police have bigger issues.
not a smoker anymore but ill be damned if i change my view that these anti smoking campaigners are facists and want everything their own way or no way at all
personally i would rather the council conduct its own surveys and act on them than take some groups word that they conducted a fair and level survey.If its a stupid and pointless matter then dont do a survey and vice versa if it is.
