Sinn Féin Moor councillor Aisling Hutton has welcomed confirmation that safety railings are to be installed at the Westland Avenue entrance gates of Jon Clifford Bull Park.
Cllr Hutton said: “I was contacted by local residents and users of the park with concerns about the safety of children exiting at the Westland Avenue entrance.
“There were concerns about the incline at the gates and that there was basically no buffer zone between the area at the  children’s play  park and the pathway out of it  onto the main road.
“Plus the pathway was dangerous for wheelchair users or someone pushing a pram.
“I raised those concerns with the Council and I am pleased to say that they have now confirmed to me that they will be installing safety railings there.
“This is a very positive move and I thank the Council for their cooperation."
