Committee is asked to consider the relocation of a play facility in the recreation ground from its current position in a wooded area to the open space within the same park.

The Committee resolved to authorise the Group Head Neighbourhood Services to:

1.     Relocate the play facility in the recreation ground from its current position in a wooded area to open space within the same park;

2.     Undertake all necessary ground works to facilitate the move; and

3.     Undertake ground restoration and tree planting in the wooded area once the equipment and fencing have been removed.

The Committee considered a request to re-locate the play facility at Halliford Recreation Ground as part of the play area restoration.

The Group Head Neighbourhood Services advised that as a result of a recent tree survey, issues with current play area location had been identified. In order to not have to undertake any work to the surrounding trees, it was suggested the play area be relocated. The new location would ensure the site was accessible, and any existing equipment that could be re-used would be. The relocation would not have any impact on current use of the park.

1.    Relocate the play facility in the recreation ground from its current position in a wooded area to open space within the same park;

2.    Undertake all necessary ground works to facilitate the move; and

3.    Undertake ground restoration and tree planting in the wooded area once the equipment and fencing have been removed.
