South Belfast residents living close to Cherryvale Playing Fields say they are concerned that the reopening of the rear gate could lead to a spike in anti-social behaviour.
Belfast City Council has held a public consultation regarding a proposal to open the rear gate at Knockbreda Park to the popular playing fields with nearly 90% of respondents saying they would like to see it reopen.
However, another consultation among those living closest to the gate has found that the majority of respondents were concerned that if it is reopened then it would lead to a rise in trouble in the area. 60% of nearby homes were against reopening the gate while 40% were in favour.
