As a resident of St Anne's ward, I have always cherished the natural beauty of our riverside. The tranquil atmosphere, picturesque views, and the opportunity to connect with nature are truly invaluable. However, it deeply saddens me to witness the deterioration of the paths and picnic areas along our beloved riverside.

The current state of these facilities not only hampers our ability to enjoy this beautiful space but also poses safety risks for both residents and visitors. Uneven paths, broken benches, and inadequate lighting make it difficult for people of all ages to navigate through this area safely. Moreover, outdated picnic areas lack proper maintenance and amenities that would enhance everyone's experience.

To bring attention to this pressing issue, I decided to create this petition in hopes that we can revitalize the paths and picnic areas along the riverside in St Anne's ward.

It is crucial for us as a community to come together and advocate for change. By signing this petition, you will be supporting efforts towards:

1. Safety Improvement: We urge the Council to invest in repairing uneven paths, installing proper lighting fixtures along walkways, ensuring sturdy benches are available throughout the area.

2. Enhanced Maintenance: We request regular upkeep of picnic areas including mowing grass regularly;  providing refuse bins at convenient locations.

3. Accessibility Upgrades: We call upon local authorities to make necessary adjustments such as wheelchair ramps or accessible pathways so that individuals with disabilities can also enjoy our beautiful riverside.

4. Community Engagement: We encourage local organizations or volunteers who share our passion for preserving natural spaces by organizing regular cleanup events or fundraising initiatives dedicated solely towards improving these facilities.

By revitalizing these neglected spaces along our riverside, we can create a safe and inviting environment for everyone to enjoy. This will not only benefit the residents of St Anne's ward but also attract more visitors, boosting local tourism and economy.

Please sign this petition to show your support for revitalizing the paths and picnic areas along our beloved riverside in St Anne's ward.

Together, we can make a difference and ensure that future generations have the opportunity to experience the beauty of our riverside while enjoying safe recreational activities.

Thank you for your support!
