Green space resembles 'war zone' after car damage

Available for over a year

Residents in Tile Hill in Coventry who used to enjoy a beautiful green space outside their homes have said it has now become a dangerous eyesore. The small piece of land, which is also home to a 350-year-old oak tree in Langley Croft, has been destroyed thanks to cars repeatedly parking on it. Elly Dix, Head of Estates and Services at Citizen Housing, said: “We’re aware of concerns about the grassed area at Langley Croft. “While we own the grassed area in question, we only manage five of the 24 homes on this road. The grassed area has been significantly affected by vehicles parking on it, largely due to limited parking availability in the street, which has made routine maintenance difficult. “We take the concerns raised seriously and are now carrying out a further site assessment to explore what longer-term solutions may be possible."
