Westmoreland Play areas

Whilst out and about today, I noticed the state of some of the play areas in Westmoreland was terrible. I think it is important to get children out playing in the fresh air and we need safe enjoyable areas for them to go.

The play area at Lymore Gardens is so uninviting the equipment is old with graffiti on it and the paintwork is extremely faded, the ground is uneven and muddy and it has very limited items to play on.  It also has a total mess of trees/bushes that are broken and unsafe along side it.


The equipment at Dorset Close play park is looking very old and is in need of repair and the paintwork is also very faded.



I have sent emails and letters to the council officers and Cabinet Member responsible for this asking for them to meet me and discuss what we can do to make these spaces more inviting for children.

I will continue to push this issue until the families of Westmoreland and surrounding areas get great play areas.

Please get in touch if you want to find out more.
