At the last meeting of Verwood Town Council I asked for a footpath for buggies, scooters and pushchairs to be installed round our local recreation ground, which is presently unusable by the older and less able.

This was a suggestion for which there was little support, with one ‘worthy’ even saying it could be dangerous if someone using the path was hit by a football or cricket ball!

It seems we older, less able beings can safely venture into ‘la la land’ but not our local park !
