Alas controversy once again surrounds the squatting of this former park manager's house which has been left empty for nearly six years - and squatted and evacuated many times since. For most of the time it has been an expensive eyesore and a place for vermin and rubbish to accumulate.

The CPUG has urged the Council to take decisive action to bring either the building, or the vacated land back into proper park use. Meanwhile many people have expressed their support for the current squatters, who have done a better job of looking after the property than the Council.

In the long term the site, with or without its building, must become part of the park again. But how long do we have to wait?
