Car parks at the Lime Pits and Crabtree Plantation closed yesterday evening for the first time in a bid to crackdown on persistent anti-social behaviour. They will close every night at 8pm and reopen the following morning at 7am until October 31. In the winter, they will close at 5pm and reopen at the same time. Speaking last month after the authority announced the move, Cllr Mark Ruffell said that maintaining residents safety was paramount . He said: These two much-loved areas are incredibly popular with residents in the borough with beautiful walking and running routes, wonderful wildlife to enjoy, and fun outdoor play equipment for families.
