As a local resident deeply connected to Cosmeston Lakes Country Park, this is more than just a place to me - it is our wildlife sanctuary. Contained within this park are some of Penarth's most diverse and fragile ecosystems, home to numerous species of wildlife. However, the recent proposal to introduce an Aqua Park this coming summer poses a significant and direct threat to this refuge and its inhabitants. The impact won't stop at the boundaries of the park but will ripple out to affect the local residents who prize this alluring slice of nature.

For years, Cosmeston Lakes has been officially deemed unsafe for swimming, raising serious concerns over the safety measures underpinning the Aqua Park’s proposal. The detrimental effect on the wildlife, the damaging impact on local residents, and the negligence of public safety issues all contribute to the pressing need to contest the installation of the Aqua Park in our beloved sanctuary.

The fate of our sanctuary, our home, and our community is at stake. We must ensure the diverse wildlife and its ecosystem stay preserved for future generations to appreciate, learn, and protect for years to come. It is time for us to voice our concerns and appeal to the relevant authorities to halt this project in its tracks. Please sign this petition now to stop the establishment of the Aqua Park at Cosmeston Lakes Country Park this summer.
