From Monday 14 September, overnight closures of East Park pedestrian gates will begin again. All 14 gates will begin to be closed from around 7pm and will reopen around 7.30am. Times will move with dawn and dusk and all times are advertised on each gate.

Councillor Dave Craker, Portfolio Holder for Leisure and Culture said:“During lockdown gates remained open following Government advice to offer outdoor space for the public to exercise.“As the year has progressed and previous staffing levels resume, we felt this was the right time to try and start to get back to normal.

However we will continue to review this as feedback we have received from residents has expressed a wish for them to remain open.”
