Well apparently so according to Tower Hamlets.
Those of you that live in and around Victoria Park in Tower Hamlets will no doubt be aware that the park has recently undergone a £12.3 million refurbishment including the expansion and renewal of its playgrounds.
The playgrounds should protect the health and welfare of small children from avoidable harm. However, the children's playgrounds have had fences removed and there are no current plans for their reinstatement. This now results in children under 5 being able to leave the playground easily and dogs defecating in the playgrounds.
If you use the playgrounds and live in the area, I and all the parents who regularly use the park, would be very grateful sign the petition by clicking through on the link and following the instructions:
