I was approached by a constituent on behalf of a mothers and toddlers group who asked me if it would be possible to have more toddler swings at Castle Green. There is a swing for disabled children, which was very kindly donated by the Rotary Club of Abertay, and this can also be used by toddlers. It requires a seatbelt which is kept by the park attendant and the council’s head of environmental management has suggested that his department might need to put up some form of notice to bring this to the public's attention. He also advised me that he would explore the possibility of providing an additional swing unit at Castle Green. This is to be considered within his capital allocation for the current financial year however there is already quite a demand on the fund.
Castle Green is a very popular destination for families and hopefully the council will be able to respond positively to requests for new and additional equipment.
