The area near the canal lock shows clear signs of unsocial gatherings. The ground is scattered with litter, including cans, bottles, food wrappers, and plastic waste. There are remnants of makeshift fireplaces and burnt patches of earth, indicating repeated fire use. Tree stumps and fallen branches have been used as seating or gathering points. The space appears neglected, with rubbish accumulating along the fence line and around the base of trees, creating an untidy and unsafe environment.
