People have voiced their support for plans to fine people for getting too close to deer at Wollaton Park. Plans were recently announced that a fixed penalty notice could be handed to visitors at Wollaton Park who got within 'close proximity' to the deer.
It is advised that individuals stay at least 50m away from deer at the 500 acre park, but numerous visitors have still been getting too close. It is hoped that the fines - if introduced - will act as a deterrent to ensure people keep their distance.
Readers have shared their thoughts on social media, with many people in agreement that fixed penalty notices are a good idea. One reader stated: "I love wildlife and these animals are beautiful however I like my life too much to risk even being bit by one let alone rammed, so trust me I’ll keep my distance and enjoy them from where I am."
