Last month we asked you to take litter home and not leave dog poo bags on Sunbury Golf Course. The title of the piece was “We Must Respect Public Spaces”. I was contacted by a couple of readers who, in no uncertain terms, pointed out that the golf course is NOT public. “We members of the golf club are thoroughly fed up with members of the public nonchalantly wandering over the course without any thought of their own safety and treating the golf course as if it were a public park. And that applies to the horse riders too! Since there are no public footpaths explains why there are no poo bins on Sunbury Golf Course”. During lockdown we have been lucky to be able to explore places which are not usually open to us. The golf course is one such place. It’s hills provided families with endless entertainment during the snow. But it is not a public place. The pathway around the course is not a public footpath either, although it has been a footpath even before the golf course existed. Thankfully it is not closed to the public, but to use it is through tolerance, not right. So, even more reason to respect places we walk, which are not public.
