Quad Bikes are ruining new Football Pitch

by Bill Mutter
Quad bikes have regularly been seen tearing up the pitch surface. The Police have been informed but as yet have not been able to apprehend those involved. Perhaps the people who live overlooking the park could identify the culprits and pass this information on to the Police?

Got told today that the police have caught a couple of youngsters on the pitch and they have been warned. It's up to anyone who sees them on the pitch to call the police and let them know. It took long enough to get the pitch let's try and keep it.

On the same note does anyone know who has to be contacted by the youth football teams to use the pitch. People calling seem to be coming up against a brick wall.

Margaret Lawrie says

It used to be KA leisure, telephone number 01294 317456.

Billie Walker says

Thanks Mags will give it a bash tomorrow and let you know how it goes.

Billie Walker says

Hi Mags I tried calling that number today and it gave the unobtainable tone. I called another few numbers I got from NAC and one very kind lady assured me she would call me back today. Have I heard anything? What do you think. I will however not give up there.

Margaret Lawrie says

Ka leisure have a website, just had a look and there's a few numbers on it, also gives a nice description of what pitches etc are avilable elsewhere. Maybe someone from the scouts/cubs may know. I find it bizarre but not unusual from NAC, that it's that difficult to hire/book the park. Keep us up to date Billie, about how you get on.

Robert Cathcart says

book the park ? just go ahead and use it !
