I was contacted by a resident about the condition of the
roundabout in the playpark in Fintry Place, beside Forthill Primary School.
Some of the wooden slats on the floor of the roundabout were loose and rotten
and there was concern that children jumping on it might break through it. I
raised the matter with the appropriate officers in the environment department who
responded quickly to make it safe and by the next day the floor had been
repaired. It is recognised that the roundabout is getting old and the possibility
of upgrading it is being looked at.
The play equipment at the children’s play area in Dawson Park
could also do with a refresh and I have been informed that the possibility of a
refurbishment programme will be looked at.
