Children play regularly here and would have nowhere else to play. Many dwellings in the neighbourhood have no gardens and the local parks are a long way away involving main road crossings, Children have suffered mentally and physically during the Covid -19 pandemic being locked inside , without being able to travel far and not accessing school and nurseries for weeks and months at a time ( in which they would play outside at lunch / playtime’s and do physical education) - the benefits of fresh air and exercise are proven by medical professionals to help mental health and should not be taken away so lightly, especially when many children are living in the flats so do not have a private garden , equally many older generations have been shielding /not seen family or friends , not leaving their homes - removing the green communal space would impact them too.
