  During the public engagement which took place in February-March 2023, we heard people’s concerns about anti-social behaviour. The project team have been working hard to try to address these concerns in the short term whilst the masterplan is being developed for longer term benefits.

  One of these short term, quick wins, has been the removal of the boards from around the base of the tennis courts. These wooden boards were in place to be rebound walls if the courts were ever used for football. This meant they blocked views into the tennis courts, across the park and visually cut off the path to the north from the rest of the park. This caused people to feel unsafe.

  The boards were removed in early May to help make the park feel lighter and more welcoming, to improve sight lines and enable passive surveillance. This has been done with the support of Sussex Police.

  Landscape Architects are continuing to develop the plans. What this space to find out when we will be publishing them.

  Sussex Police’s local Police Community Support Officer met with a member of the masterplan project team on Monday 17^th April to talk about how the masterplan improvements can help to reduce anti-social behaviour within the park. She has a particular interest in solving the problem of ASB that has been occurring at Mount Noddy.

  MSDC will continue to work closely with the Police as the plans develop.
