This rant from a Godalming mother, who we cannot contact to secure her permission to reprint this, is just one of the hundreds of messages on FACEBOOK, and all the borough’s Community Boards highlighting vandalism and anti-social behaviour. Sooner or later a child will be badly injured.
RANT TO THE PEOPLE WHO THINK ITS OK TO SMASH BOTTLES AT A PARK! MY CHILDREN CAN’T PLAY BECAUSE OF YOU!
THIS IS AT THE CHIPPY PARK!
ITS ALL IN THE PARKS! ON THE BASKETBALL COURT AND IN THE GRASS!
PLEASE STOP SMASHING UP AND RUINING KIDS PLAYGROUNDS!
THIS ISNT THE ONLY PARK THAT HAS GLASS!
BROADWATER PARK,
OCKFORD RIDGE PARK
AARONS HILL PARK!
SERIOUSLY! THIS IS BEYOND A JOKE. MY 9-MONTH-OLD IS ON THE MOVE AND HE HAS HAD GLASS IN HIS MOUTH FROM THESE PARKS!
JUST PICK YOUR RUBBISH AND GLASS UP PLEASE!!!!
Come on Godalming do you want to earn the title of … Godawfulming! Other towns and villages in the Waverley Borough are suffering from the same problems!
Goood evening – I just wanted to say as a councillor whose ward covers a couple of the areas mentioned here – and so to anyone else with similar concerns please do send me this sort of thing (as much as I look out for as much as I can on the Godalming facebook pages too I missed this one).

Ps. If the people who submitted these photos want to get in touch too, would welcome the opportunity to investigate this.
Thank you for responding Councillor Follows, and we will search again for the name of the mother who was so concerned about the glass.
Funny, we haven’t heard from any otherGodalming councillors eager to help their constituents?!?
We believe the ladies name is Melissa Stretch?

We see you continue to keep your eye on the Godalming ball, as well as making it bounce all over Waverley! Tomorrow’s post is a scorcher!
