Following the work to remove a hedge in Orchar Park the play area still needs to be made secure. Previously it was protected on two sides by a metal fence, on another side by the boundary hedge of the bowling green and on its north side by the hedge that was removed. A temporary wooden fence has been erected but it doesn’t entirely enclose the play area. What was previously the entrance to the play area is also now a bit of a mud bath.
I was instrumental some years ago in
arranging for the metal fences to be erected to ensure the play area was secure
so I’m a bit disappointed to see what it looks like now. I have contacted the
council’s environment department to ask that steps be taken to provide a metal
fence to replace the wooden one so that the play area is once again fully enclosed
and I have also asked that action be taken to deal with the area of ponding at
the entrance.
