A 'Letter to the Editor' from Helen Whiteside - but who's really pulling the strings?
"Regarding your story on the protest at Lord Reserve in Carnegie (Leader June 3). The partial fence in Lord Reserve is not a complete barrier to children, dogs or balls. There were entry and exit points all along the old fence.
Over the years, council's approach has been to try and remove barriers to access and encourage people to participate in both active and passive recreation in our parks.
There can never be a safer alternative to the proper supervision of children in any environment, whether it be the local park or the children's own home.
Where fences have been removed from other parks, usage has increased.
It is a legal requirment for people walking their dog that it is always under effective voice control, even in an off-leash area.
The police became involved in ensuring work could continue after the contractor had not been able to safely access the work site for three days, the contractor's property was damaged and the safety measures around the work site were breached.

What proof was provided by anyone that property was damaged? I would like to see evidence of what dissenters are being accused of, with some factual proof!
