Under 8's Play Area

The Under 8’s Play Area at the Recreation Ground is currently closed following a serious act of vandalism. Unfortunately, a number of pieces of play equipment were extensively damaged and destroyed, resulting in the remaining equipment having to be removed for safety reasons.

We understand this will be disappointing news for local families and young residents who regularly use the play area, and we share the community’s frustration at the damage caused.

The Council is now actively exploring funding opportunities to create a new and improved play area, with plans to include accessible play equipment so that the space can be enjoyed by as many children as possible.

To help protect the Recreation Ground and deter future vandalism, CCTV has now been installed on site. We hope that once the new play area is completed, it will be respected and cared for by everyone in the community.

We will continue to keep residents updated on funding progress and future plans for the redevelopment of the Under 8’s Play Area.
