ENCROACHMENTS ON HAGLEY PARK
Sir, —“Motorist Since 1908’s” disquisition on Henry Ford is no argument for alowing roads through, or cars into. Hagley Park. There is already “reasonable and convenient access'’’ to the park—for pedestrians who I wish to appreciate it as a stretch of ; most beautiful parkland, which it can • never be if main roads are cut through lit. Permits are available for scenic i drives through Hagley Park and the ; Botanic Gardens for elderly or inI valid persons unable to walk. What •a traffic hazard motor roads would create for the thousands of sports players and strollers using the park! Have “Motorist Since 1908’’ and S. J. Geary never heard of the road safety campaign? These thousands of park users [should be considered. Outlet roads [can be planned to by-pass the park, [and scenic motor drives are available ! elsewhere, without desecrating the [city’s famous beauty spot.—Yours, etc., BRUCE CAMPBELL. ! July 5. 1956.
