Please warminster councilors can't you provide more for the teenagers in this town to do, as they are just trashing all the parks in this town, probably out of boredom!! Yes they have the skatepark but where are they supposed to hang out in the rain and cold. there have been several places that could have been used for a cinema or ten pin bowling alley but we get more shops or old peoples homes or new housing estates instead. I would hate to be a teenager in this town. I have had to pick up so much broken glass from the queensway park and split cans that are also hazardous, and everytime i've been there it's full of teenagres as they have nothing else to do!! I went to take my daughter to the wreck park oppoiste the snooty fox the other day so she could use the deathslide down there as was fed up of all the broken glass at queensway park, only to find the deathslide had either broke or been broken. The roundabout in the main park is extremely hard to push and has been like that for ages, and someone has cut the rope on the assault course that kids swung on from the wooden beam to the next obstacle and the top rope is missing off another activity further on the course and has been like this for ages. A soft play center would also be great as the other one that closed is sorely missed.

Jobaggs - Have you reported the broken glass?

Jobaggs - Can I suggest that going forward you do something proactive (ie report the problem) before WHINGING about it!

Some people.....

Jobaggs

My young son recently came home with a cut leg, arm and hand. He was quite badly cut, so we took him to hospital.

I asked today where he had done this, we had forgot before in all of the excitement and our desire to get him to hospital quickly. And Jobaggs, can you guess where he had fallen over?????? Yes, it was Flers Court / Samboourne Road!!!!!

This makes me think that if someone had reported the glass, my son would not have 43 stiches in his leg, 23 stiches in his arm and 34 stiches in his hand!

Thanks for being a responsible person!

Jobapps - My wife JuliaG1980 has asked me to write to you to apologise for her earlier comments. As I am sure you will appreciate, the recent events have been very upsetting for the family. But they are in no way your fault.

All we can ask is that people take BadHandie's advice, and if they see a danger, then alert the appropriate authority to deal with it. That way, things will be safer for the whole community.

Very gracious Julia and Tom!

Very good advice BadHandie and Tom!

I think there are a couple of important points here. Your "average" citizen probably wouldn't report something like broken glass, because (a) they probably imagine that someone else has, or (b) they assume that the council are aware or will find it on a regular cleaning round or (c) - and as jobaggs asked - they don't know the right authority to report it to. None of this is any excuse for accidents happening after something is not reported, but one can understand to a certain extent why it wasn't, in the times that we live in.

If because of cutbacks this type of hazard/danger will NOT be found by the council (i.e. because there is no-one cleaning the streets anymore) then the Council have a duty to put into place better procedures and information for reporting such things, so that these accidents do not happen.

Maybe David Cameron is right - maybe there is a place for "Big Society" in an environment where every council service will be cut back to the bone?

Does anyone know of any other "hazards" in or around Warminster that the Council should be aware of?
