Letters / Inconsiderate parking

It was fantastic to see so many attend the craft exhibition at the Clickimin Centre but very disappointing to see a few motorists park on the wet, soggy grass across from the centre and leaving deep vehicle tracks and ruts as a result.

With extra parking now available at weekends at the new school and parking available at Hayfield, South Lochside and to the rear of the centre, was there really a need to park on the grass and destroy it?

Trust that those who organise future activities in the Clickimin will take appropriate action to avoid this happening again.
