Locked-down public locked out of driving in Weston Park

No entry to cars… the locked gates at Weston Park.

THE public is locked out of driving within Yarralumla’s sprawling Weston Park. Its gates are closed to traffic.

According to one “CityNews” reader, the people the Chief Minister heaps praise on daily at his press briefings for being so compliant and diligent with health directions can’t be trusted to not congregate in a public park.

Pedestrian access is still permitted, so exercisers are parking in the (also closed) dog park spaces metres away and walking straight in.
