The question of how much Down Grange Park is CURRENTLY used has been a constant point of discussion between the public, the Sports Clubs, and the Council.

We feel this image answers this question very well! It is created using data from an activity-based app over a short period. The brighter the lines, the higher the usage. It excludes track runners and anyone who is using this space without the app, so it is a lot more in reality. 

The Down Grange plans are forcing a square peg into a round golf hole, leaving no one happy with the final result ... including Golfers (as you can see here: Golfer's letter). The Council needs a Plan B for the WHOLE Golf Centre, including the Pitch and Putt.

Don’t forget, if you have a view on this proposal, please make your thoughts known. You can do this in a few ways, including sending an email to the 2 Council Cabinet members in the hot seat for this project, Onnalee Cubitt and Kerry Morrow.
