Woodlands playground refurbished
Hedges next to cycle path being trimmed back
Workers were today putting the finishing touches to the refurbished Woodlands play area on Teal Drive/Bellhouse Way.
Hedges area being cut and all the safety surfaces have been renewed.
Children are likely to attend an “opening” later in the week.
Full marks to Rowntrees for talking to the local Residents Association about the future of the playground which had been locked closed for over 12 months.
Responding to a survey organised by Liberal Democrat Andrew Waller last month, 88% of residents said that they wanted the Woodlands play area to be open at least at weekends.
NB. Part of the overgrown hedge blocking the cycle path has also now been cut back.
