Freedom eroded

Five years ago, when my first son was born, I discovered the hidden gem in the Worthing area that is Highdown Gardens.

Since then, I have taken both my sons regularly throughout summers and winters to explore, run and learn about the plants and trees, look in the pond, and just sit and escape from the madness of ours towns and roads.

So, I am saddened and outraged to learn that Worthing Borough Council is proposing to charge for parking at Highdown Hill and Gardens.
