Recreation ground - Play Area Project

Playdale on site this afternoon/evening.

LARGE TOWER

New ramp and rope in place.

Regarding wooden step for net rope, unfortunately workman given wrong item, so for time being he has made safe, as very loose, and assures me this will be done in due course.

SMALL TOWERS

New ramp did not fit, therefore workman back again tomorrow.

RUBBISH SKIP

He assured me it will be collected this week or next.

BENCH

It was in much need of some TLC, so myself and daughter Karen painted it this evening.

Colour Guard - woodland oak & cost £5.99. I hope this was OK as spending not agreed.

I was rather angry to find lots of children, plus 2 adults with their children, in the play area this evening. I find this rather irresponsible especially while the workman on site using high powered tools !! He even told them play area was not open to the public yet !!

According to these children Youth Club leaders said it was fine to use during and after club hours. I have already informed them to discourage the children from using it.

I also mentioned the litter as this evening it was every where and wasn't happy to have to pick up after them !!

Email sent this evening to:

YC leaders - Kevin, Mike & Tony

CC - Alan, Tim & Janet

Hi Youth Clubers

I fully understand that the kids are eager to use the new play area, however it's still a working progress.

While workman are on site, insurance and equipment inspection pending, can I ask you again to discourage the kids from using during/after club hours please until further notice.

There are clear signs saying NOT OPEN TO THE PUBLIC, which have been in place since 15th June.

Also when using the recreation area can I ask that all YC litter be disposed of correctly.

Thank you for your co-operation on this matter.
