Key quotes from respondents
“I hope this doesn’t mean the council will start charging an entrance fee!”
“Keep it within the council.”
“Should be open to everyone at all times. Shouldn’t have to pay to go to the park.”
“I find it very wrong that I have to pay for everything I do in my own town. I cannot even go to the beach without having to pay.”
