Syringes, fires, people exposing themselves: what visitors really think about 'no-go area' park...

DOG walkers who use a park labelled a 'no-go area' say they do not feel safe there.

This year Reform UK ward councillor Luke Shenton, below, said Northwood Park had serious issues with homelessness, drug use and antisocial behaviour.

He said visitors felt unsafe and the area had become a 'no-go zone.

Now The Sentinel has been to the park to talk to users to see how bad the problem really is.
