Parks are meant to be places of relaxation, not places where you have to wince at the noise and end up with a headache. If the operatives have to where ear muffs, why should anyone else have to listen to them?
They pollute in terms of noise, and pollute by using power to run them contributing completely unnecessarily to global warming.

No matter how slowly they move, small children, elderley people and dogs have to leave the path. Might as well be walking along the road! Surely park employees have time to trundle a wheelbarrow instead - gives time for a chat with park keepers to ask about planting and so on. No chat if they're in a vehicle and don't want to be seen! Heyho, modern life!

Surely they are not having a positive impact on the plants, people or environment. Rakes and brooms are much more effective and environmentally friendly.

The past couple of years have seen so many vehicles in parks near to where I live. It was never like this before. They degrade these places and make them no longer special. Gardening tools make too much noise and fumes. What is happening to our open spaces?

The noise pollution is really severe.

They are intrusive, damaging and 'macho'.

London Parks and open spaces should be a haven from the bustle of the city. This haven is spoilt by the awful roar of these machines.

I have seen a man at work in London's Manchester Square during strong winds. As soon as he'd tidied up the leaves into a corner, he wind blew them away and he had to repeat the action again and again.

Litter is picked up, if at all, by people, not swept about by these machines.
Also please ban leafblowers on campuses outside London, such as Nottingham, and even Reigate, where their noise and fumes are... unpleasant.
Also oil should not be drilled from the arctic, which should remain frozen, thanks.
London is doing a lot to improve air quality but it just has to be presented in a proper legal document.

Firstly they used to spread poison all round their streets to kill a few wild flower and so killed all the insects and small birds like the sparrow, and now it's the the fumes and noise from leaf blowing machines. What is wrong with a brush and a rake! They worked perfectly well in the past.
