Give Mackie Park a swing and reduce complaint power.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Mackie Park was given a swing by the community, however it was taken down to to a single complaint by someone in the community, while overwhelmingly the community feedback was positive. Why is negativity more important than positivity? It’s the wrong message.

While community projects should be ensured they are safe, it should be on the burden of the council to prove it is a bad thing for the community. Why should a single bad comment ruin the rest of a brilliant plan. Hopefully this will encourage Councils to be required to provide a minimum level of information into why community projects are removed, knowledge of who complained, and council by council voting and petitions to ensure a community ideal is kept
