Save Withdean (puppy) Park Fenced Enclosure
Withdean park fenced space is a unique facility in the Brighton area that is popular with local residents and people from wider afield, alike. It is a safe destination for dog walkers that attracts many families and young children wishing to spend time outdoors with other likeminded dog owners. For the council just to decide to withdraw maintenance of such a popular resource without trialling other ways to fund and support this vital community facility (such as a low-cost toll scheme or leasing a cafe site to generate revenue - both of which would encourage more creative and even wider use of the park by the public) is not responsible and amounts to short-sighted management of the city's park. This petition is aimed at encouraging the council to recognise the importance of this facility to the people who currently use this park for dog exercising, have used it in the past and for anyone who would like to use it in the future. I therefore urge the public to sign this petition and urge the council to change their decision.
