Dear friends at Holy Trinity

I’m hoping you can help us by putting a friendly reminder in your newsletter. We would be very grateful if drivers keep to the roads and car parks and not park on the Dawson St Gardens park. They may not be aware that not only is it illegal to park there, but more importantly the weight of the vehicles compacts the soil. This is detrimental to the trees and plants because over time the compaction becomes concrete-like and prevents the roots accessing water and air through the soil.

I have put up some very makeshift signs and the majority of drivers are keeping off the park but each week there are a few that still drive up the kerb to park as close as possible to the school.

On another note, we are so pleased (and appreciative) that the school is involved with the Gardens and that the students are enjoying their Friday afternoon classes there.
