I missed the start but listening now and looks like there has been a result as forestry guy has just mentioned there will be a 24hr presence there by a private firm.

edit: they'll be there 8pm to 4am

Private security firm on from this weekend from 8pm until 4am I wonder if the security will be split between the two forests, or will it be static on each site ?

Great Programme, gutted that I missed the beginning due to travelling into work. I'll catch up with it later. Anyway - thanks Jon - RESULT! All I wanted to see was some night time security.

Do you think it's a mistake to announce that security goes off site at 4am?

So am I right in thinking that Jons highlighting his blog post to U105 and agreeing to go on the radio to talk about it has directly resulted in the Forest Service putting some security onsite? If so that's nothing short of awesome. Well done Jonny!

I dont think the drinkers could wait until 4am for their first drink Vicky, they may move on  :-X

At the end of the day no matter who is responsible for looking after the park they have a duty off care by law to all paying patrons.  Its a pity it had to come to this though for them to realise just how dangerous these parks can be without proper security.  Again well done to Jonny.
