Play park at King George V Playing Field has been reopened

Published: 16 August 2019

A play area has reopened following the completion of essential repair works.

The play area at King George V Playing Field was recently closed following an unauthorised encampment at the site.

The encampment ended last week and a major clean-up of the area was quickly completed by council staff.

But on inspection, a number of items at the play area were identified as being in need of repair, including a damaged gate at the entrance.

A spokesman for the council said that work had now been successfully completed.

The spokesman said: "Please be advised that remedial works have been carried out and are now complete. The children’s play area is now safe to use and has been reopened."
