A popular Cardiff park is being locked early again after an increase in antisocial behaviour. Cardiff Council previously locked the gates of Thompson's Park in Canton in the afternoon but had left them open late in recent months to allow residents to use it.
But the council has now decided to start closing the park early again for a number of weeks after a rise in reports of antisocial behaviour in the area. A spokesperson said early locking arrangements resumed on December 12 and will carry on until January 15 when they will be reviewed.
Thompson's Park is popular with dog walkers throughout the year and is also home to coffee shop Lufkin which took over the old public toilets and ranger's hut in the park in 2020. Residents can share their views on the temporary locking arrangements by getting in touch with the council.
