Hillsborough Park's multi-use games area is set to be changed if plans go ahead.

BBC News

The Friends of Hillsborough Park say the changes will stop a disabled cycling group from using the space.Andy Chaplin, from Friends of Hillsborough Park, said the new MUGA would be a third of the size of the current space, with the tennis courts being moved and a fence added. Mr Chaplin said compared to other parks in the city, Hillsborough already had "decent" facilities, including a newly-opened cafe with another being planned.

A petition against the plans, which has almost 1,000 signatures, said the group believe "this is commercialisation of a public park" with there being "little regard for those people in Hillsborough community who currently use the MUGA for free".
