Sutton Park is a vital resource. As a regular visitor, I can attest to the park's immense impact on our lives. It serves as a sanctuary and a source of physical and mental vitality for its users. The proposal to introduce parking charges threatens the accessibility of Sutton Park for many. A study by the Natural England states that increased access to green spaces can help tackle health issues such as obesity and mental distress (Growing Evidence, Natural England). Yet, the addition of parking charges may potentially discourage many from such vital natural interaction. It's crucial that we uphold free access as a fundamental right for all park visitors. Therefore, we implore local officials to reconsider the implementation of this charge. Stand with us today, sign this petition and help us keep Sutton Park accessible to all, irrespective of their income.
