Well I couldn't get through these gates or every other one except one. That goes for every other disabled person too. There are many gates around Bridgewood, Braziers Wood and Pipers Vale and yet only one that I can get through and even then only because I have been given a RADAR key by IBC. My son wheeled me down to the river. It wass the first time I have made that journey for over six years. Boy was I disappointed. The place is no longer a wood and doesn't make the grade as a park either. The trees are missing in many places and some even just lay where they have been sawn down. The pathway in places is covered with some kind of wood chippings making it hard to wheel a push chair as well as my wheel chair. I still cannot understand why IBC felt driven to buy or lease this place and increase their spending of community charge money. They have many other parks that should be looked after better before they start taking on more. I can see why Mr Little is laughing as IBC is cutting down so many trees they can hardly complain if he does too.
