Then that's probably the problem: it's nobody's problem. The other smaller parks dotted around OBS are beautiful as you say. It's just sad that our most visible stretch of open ground is so shabby and unloved.
I'll ask Paddy, thanks for the info! On 2 Feb 2015 16:17, "Rosemary Robins" <[email protected]> wrote: > > I COULD be wrong, but I don't think the Village Green is the responsibility of City Parks. Ebrahim does Barrington, Kiddies and Arnold - with conscientiousness. For many years there has been a debate as to who is responsible for the Village Green. I believe OBSID will know.
