Additional Information (if any): This wayspot is located at a very busy cross junction. It is very hard and unsafe to access this wayspot as there isn’t really much pavement space on any side of the roads. It would be very unsafe for people to come here to play the game, let alone a group of players gathering.
You have shown that it cannot be approached safely from the main street side. For the team to remove this, I think you will need to show that it cannot be approached safely from the Club side either.
The welcome sign is located in its own secluded area fenced off from both the main roads and the club ( as shown in these additional images below) So people from inside the club can’t access it either. They wouldn’t even be able to see it as it’s blocked off by a physical wall and hedge.
I would say it lacks pedestrian access from outside the club, but as @cyndiepooh mentioned, the OP needs also to show that it lacks pedestrian access from within the club, where the red arrow indicates on the photo. It’s just not clear either way.
Unfortunately, I’m not a member of the club so I’m not able to provide any details or images about how to get to that location from inside the club. The entrance marked on the map here is gated and has a private property sign displayed, so I wouldn’t be able to get in either.
I’m not too sure about this, but if the gate for the path leading to the wayspot is marked with a private property sign, would it still be considered suitable for pedestrian access?
I’ve actually asked people from my community about this. They said that those paths and the building you see near the wayspot are actually used by only workers and gardeners for maintaining the field, hence the “no trespassing sign”.
Visitors of Penang Turf Club actually enter the turf club from the other side of the field (detailed in the map below). Additionally, visitors can only view horse racings from the main building there and are not authorised to go to the corner of the field where the wayspot is located. Only horse racers can use the entirety of the race track.
Of course, this is just from word of mouth and I unfortunately do not have physical evidence to back this up, but this does make sense to me.
Thanks for the appeal, Explorer. We looked at this Wayspot again and decided that it does not meet our criteria for removal at this time. Having said that, we have moved it to the correct location.
While we understand your disappointment about the location of this Wayspot, based on our research, it does not require any adjustments at this time.
