Outstandingly poor move by the local council.

As a major fan of parkrun anything that can get 90,000 people running or walking 5k each week should be applauded and helped as much as possible, not seen as a form of cash cow.
Spot on. Parkruns are massively popular and this would be an fantastic way to put people off from taking up running.
