Burton Bradstock Parish Council Meeting     -           Wednesday 7th September 2005

 

Play Area & Equipment

The children's play area in the village is in need of repair and replacement.  We are currently considering a working party being formed to remove the existing equipment that has been deemed 'unsafe' in the latest Wicksteed inspection.  The cost for Wicksteed to remove this equipment is over £3000!  If you have any expertise in cutting up and removing slides and swings, please contact Cllr. Dave Venn on 01308 897094.

Replacement equipment is currently being sourced.  Early indications are that we need to set aside a sum of some £20 000 to refurbish this valued children's play area.  If you would like to make a donation or sponsor any equipment, please contact Cllr. Venn!!!
