Act Responsibly on Magdalen Green

West End Councillor Richard McCready today called for all users of Magdalen Green to use the area responsibly. His call came after he was contacted by a constituent who was appalled by the amount of broken glass he found at Magdalen Green during a visit with his grandson over the weekend. Councillor McCready has contacted the Leisure and Communities Department of the City Council asking for action to be taken to ensure that broken glass is removed, although Councillor McCready is aware that the problem lies with those who break glass on the Green.

Councillor Richard McCready said, 'I was very concerned to hear from my constituent that he and his two year-old grandson were confronted with broken glass during a recent visit to Magdalen Green. I have raised my concerns with the council and I hope that appropriate action will be taken. It is also clear that everyone who uses Magdalen Green has a duty to clear up after themselves and to act responsibly. Hopefully over the next few weeks we will have some better weather and this will attract people to Magdalen Green I urge everyone to enjoy Magdalen Green responsibly.'

'Magdalen Green is a great park to be enjoyed by the people of the West End and beyond. Everyone who uses it should take care of it. It is unacceptable that some people spoil it for other visitors.'
