Thursday 6/8/26 A fire in the park was quickly put out by the fire brigade and WMP also attended. It is thought to be deliberate.
The cost to the public purse...2 fire engines thats 10 fire men for an hour, 2 police officers... all being taken away from other tasks... this fire was inhibited by firebreaks (desire lines) cut by Parks mowing team. Great job guys you saved the meadows and the trees!! Thank you WMFS and WMP. (i hope you catch them)
