As the developers of the Town Centre have shown no interest in involving the community in this development or keeping the public updated on their progress it is down to the community to demand something from this outdated scheme. Contact your local Councillors and ask them to insist the developers create a new playground for children NOW. The Town Centre will remain a building site for over 5 years which means the planned new playground will not be completed before 2027 at the earliest.
The existing playground is worn out, outdated and too small for the number of users it has. Kept in its current state it will put carers off coming to the playground and why should they want to shop in a noisy building site?
The Councillors must demand a temporary high quality replacement for the current playground or its complete refurbishment NOW.
It already seems to have little use as it is in such poor condition and the ground cover is a real trip hazard. It has been heavily used but now needs to be brought back up to a modern standed so that it is a real attraction - we can't wait over 5 years for the final fountains and play area to be built.
This is the state it is in.......................
