You may have noticed that the swings in the play area on the Wootton Recreation Ground have been removed. This has been done on Health and Safety grounds following an inspection of the play equipment that identified defects. The climbing frame has been removed as a result of vandalism. The Parish Council are currently reviewing the play areas and will work towards replacing the equipment as soon as possible.
Sadly the train in the Wootton play area was vandalised by fire on the evening of Sunday 2nd October. For safety reasons the whole train has now been removed. The police have been informed and we will keep residents informed of progress as we seek to update the equipment.
