Heaton Park Fence Sparks Public Outcry Ahead of Oasis Concerts

Manchester, UK - The Manchester City Council has drawn significant criticism following the erection of a 12-foot steel fence around "Gallagher Hill" in Heaton Park, a popular vantage point for viewing concerts. The fence was installed ahead of sold-out Oasis performances, sparking outrage among fans and local residents. A local resident, Zoë Bread, documented the situation, questioning the council's stated reasons for the barrier. The council cited the need to "protect trees, livestock and the public." However, Bread observed that newly planted saplings were already double-fenced, and the cows reportedly being protected were simply relocated to another part of the park. She also highlighted a felled tree, alleging it was removed because a fan had climbed it for a better view during a previous event. A security guard at the site, when questioned about the fence's purpose, stated they were "protecting the new trees." Bread countered, "I've never stopped a tree from growing before," and questioned the necessity of such a large barrier when a simple "get off the trees" instruction could suffice. The controversy underscores a broader debate about public access to green spaces and the commercialization of events held within them. Many residents feel the council's actions are disproportionate and prioritize profit over community enjoyment and environmental preservation. The cost and long-term impact of such measures remain a point of contention among the public.
