Council committees start again on 9 January and one of the items on the Neighbourhood Services Committee is seeking approval for playground improvements at various sites totalling £74,000.
The improvements are being carried
out either to address existing health and safety concerns at some of the locations,
to enhance the amenity of the facilities, and to help reduce the long term future
maintenance costs. Included in the proposed works is the replacement of the
steel framed suspension rope swing at Castle Green.
Broughty Ferry has a number of beautiful
parks and open spaces and I have previously posted on the improvements to be
carried out at Dawson Park, Orchar Park and Reres Hill. Castle Green is a really
busy play area and it’s good to see the full complement of play equipment being
restored.
