Have your say on the Old Dean Recreation Ground

Heatherside Recreation Ground update
Following our playground inspections, we have had to take the zip slide at Heatherside Recreation Ground out of action with immediate effect as one of the posts has evidence of rot.
The provider who installed the zip slide has been asked to inspect and replace the damaged equipment as soon as possible and we will keep you updated of progress once we have further information.
