Unfortunately it has been brought to my attention today by a couple of residents that the play area at the back of the estate is dangerous. A child injured themselves on some of the broken concrete that surrounds the base of the posts, apparently they cut their back. A few of the children came over to discuss this with us and presented this dilemma. Complain and no doubt the play area would merely be cordoned off and marked as dangerous and not to be used. However the children don't want this to happen as it is the only play equipment here and it is well used. What we need is for work to be scheduled in to repair the play area with some kind of suitable covering......the lining that the play bark was laid over is also exposed and a hazard. The parents and child in question it appears to do not want to make a formal complaint.
TO BE CLEAR......the children do not want the play area cordoned off.

A new take on the popular garden designer's theme of bringing the inside out! Freecycle anyone? You never know it COULD still work......
Hi!
ReplyDeleteIt is a dilemma. Children do not want the area to be cordoned off, but otherwise it is not safe. I think parents should understand that... not talking about the fact that the fences often bounce balls and other stuff back that children would otherwise throw outside.
