After we have an idea of what we can do and costs we intend to put our suggestion to our intended audience and see what they think. We are getting costings first so we can see if it is feasible for us to continue any further.

I am expecting some resistance to it because most people wont read something like that document I linked for you. When they do they don't want to believe it will help the situation. We are not just talking those immediately facing the park either.

Who said progress was easy?
Sounds like a good idea to me. Older children still go in the park after dark, having their own designated space sounds a very sensible idea.

There'll always be some stick in the muds, who'll oppose change for whatever reason. Probably the same person/people who thought the new children's play area was an eyesore from their front rooms on Park Lane, and who tried to say that it would, wrongly, attract more vandalism.

Good luck.
