LIKE many of your readers, I do find the state of West Park Stray depressing after Harrogate was the host town for the recent UCI World Cycling Championships.

Here are five questions.
1. When do they plan to take down the railings so that the pavement on West Park Stray can be used again?
2. When are residents, and in particular the children walking from Harrogate Grammar School, going to be able to use the diagonal path across West Park Stray?

4. Is the council going to do anything to drain the compacted areas (where lakes of standing water keep forming whenever it rains)?
5. Is the council planning on reseeding? Or returfing? Or just letting nature take its course?
Keeping everyone informed would make us all less anxious.
Let’s hope they can return our Stray to its former glory as soon as possible.
