SIR — I am a resident of Minehead and I feel very sad when I visit Blenheim Gardens to see so many bicycles being used to race around.

The signs are there at each entrance saying no bicycles.

It’s only a matter of time before someone is injured.

Also, the number of dogs - again not allowed - and all the dog faeces which owners don’t bother to pick up. No-one seems to care.

These are lovely gardens, and I speak to many visitors who are appalled to see what is happening, and some won’t be coming back.

It used to be a safe place for families to visit but not any more.

We are very grateful to the volunteers who work very hard to keep the flower beds looking good, only to have it spoilt by bicycles and dogs.

Rosalie Redmayne,

Minehead.
