Anglian Water have provided the following statement.

We realise that many of our customers are disappointed about our parks being closed. We do understand how much people love visiting our green spaces and it has been a difficult decision for us to make.

Re-opening our parks would attract large numbers of people from out of the area, following the scenes we’ve all witnessed recently where people have travelled outside of their locality, we need to do all we can to discourage this.

We all need to stay home where possible, exercise locally and observe social distancing measures. For these reasons, and for the safety of our staff, our parks will remain closed to public access until the national guidance changes.

We’re sending all our best wishes to our customers and visitors, and look forward to welcoming you back to enjoy our parks again as soon as we can.

Thank you for your understanding.
