As residents of Egglescliffe parish will know Egglescliffe & Eaglescliffe council has a programme of refurbishing the play areas in the parish. So far St Margaret's has been completed, Amberley Way phase 1 is complete and now it's Kingsmead's turn. When the estate was built the developers were responsible for providing play equipment. Sadly for the children of Kingsmead that was at the height of worries on safety so the equipment provided was fairly dull for anyone over the age of about 8 or 9. Over a number of years ideas have been put forward but money wasn't available. All that is changing now. The Parish council share of the Council tax went up significantly a few years ago to enable these improvements.
Tomorrow afternoon between 2.30 and 6 there will be a gazebo by the current play area. Plans for proposed changes will be on view and residents on the estate have had letters delivered asking them to come and look and comment. Unlike too many "consultations" this is not a cut and dried scheme. We genuinely want to know if we've got it right after listening to parents, young people and others. Is the balance of equipment right for all ages? Is there a need for a space for ball games to be played safely and is our suggestion of where it can happen the right one? Will the layout encourage people to take their dogs elsewhere for their toilet needs? Come and let us know.
