Getting things done – Victoria Park – an update #dundeewestend

Residents may recall that recently I advised that a local resident recently reported as follows to me :

I obviously had a young child with me and my adult daughter who is a power chair user.

We were unable to access the play park as no designated access path.

Grass very wet, not pram or wheelchair friendly.”

I had taken this issue up with the City Council’s environment management and a senior service manager agreed to take this matter up.
