Save Ferndene Park Toilets and Facilities

Ferndene Park - one of Ryton’s most popular recreation areas - has a bit of a problem! You can’t spend a penny there because the park’s toilets have been closed.

Lib Dem campaigner Steve Kelly is taking on this challenge. “People contacted us recently to tell us about the problems caused by the lack of a working loo in Ferndene Park,” said
Steve. 

“The problem was especially difficult in the summer holidays when mums and dads brought their kids to the park for a day out, but spending a penny was a problem and some families have
decided to go elsewhere. A number of residents took to social media to express their concerns at the lack of toilet facilities. It isn’t just children who have been caught short. Older people
and carers bringing disabled residents have been caused an inconvenience by the absence of loos.nWe want the council to work with residents and park volunteers to reopen the toilets. So don’t get cause with nowhere to spend a penny. Sign out petition calling for the problem to be sorted.”
