THE next fatal accident in the offing in Stoneclough will be in the children's play area next to the Hare and Hounds.
Although it's basic use is to be a safe place to play, its now become something of a game of chance to get to the swings and ball park without being run over by scooters, off-road bikes and the like.
Two reasons for this state of affairs are the council saying its up to the police, and the police saying that there is no sign to say that vehicles are not allowed.
The other reason is that scooters and bikes have risen in popularity over the last five years, but very little has been done to provide places to ride them.
Someone please use some common sense before its too late, and look at this problem.
