I can no longer sit and enjoy the park

SIR – When my wife Joan died in the spring of 2006 we had been together for more than 62 years. One of our joys since moving to Barbourne was a stroll in Ghelevelt Park looking at wildlife and children playing on swings or splashing around in the paddling pool enjoying innocent fun.

However, since becoming a widower, the park has now become out of bounds for old men like me. Why?

It has become very uncomfortable to sit in the park and enjoy the ambience of the place, owing to the weird knowing looks I get from young mothers with children.

I am looked on as some weirdo sat on my own in the park. Am I bitter? You bet I am! What is happening to this country of ours?

H A KENDALL, Worcester.

The facists on Telford (Salop) Council recently drew up a policy which stated that all single male persons in the town park for any purpose, would be stopped, questioned and effectively told to "b----- off" out of it if they were seen in there. The idiot who drew up this policy, thought the world had fell on him, his name was splashed far and wide and rightly so, local newspaper headlines, the national press, BBC and ITV news and uncle Tom Cobley and all reported it and questioned under what authority he ordered his staff to act like the "Gestapo". The order was immediately rescinded by the Council Chief Executive and his comments were not kind to say the least. Yes, Mr Kendall, we live in a sick country. Paedophiles should be hung up by the proverbials and left to rot until, as a group, they no longer exist then perhaps decent people can do the things decent people should be able to do without fear or recrimination. You go into that park as often and when you wish.
