Enhance safety of park gates to protect children globally
The Issue
This idea of this petition is to try and urge the government to make sure that all children’s playgrounds have adequate safety around gates especially after recent events where a young boy went missing after running out of a park.
I feel a safety mechanism should be in place where parks are either coded or a safety log should be in place so children are un able to get out of them.
The parks we are lucky enough to have should be a safe place for children and adults to be reassured their child is safe it literally takes a second for something to happen. I feel like the councils in all areas need to take this in to consideration and look at the risk and safety of all parks.
