I walked past the tennis courts at Queen’s Park and saw a padlock on the gate. 

I was astonished and appalled that during this difficult time of separation, we are closing the very places where people can continue doing an activity that complies with the social distancing directives.

This is so wrong. I thought that I would phone the city and complain. I then read about the very issue in your recent issue.  

I am happy people are cutting locks off. There is absolutely no reason why locks should be installed on a tennis court considering what is happening at the moment.
