"The design of the park was the result of extensive public consultation, with the local community and councillors asked to give their views at a number of events on the layout of the park and what kind of equipment they would like to see installed.

"This design also includes a CCTV camera being installed to help maintain a safe and secure playing environment."

yeah right ,i hope the park has resident paramedics

They should have looked at Cambridge, I drove past some awesome looking playparks last month.

Have to love how the installation of a CCTV camera is supposed to be a redeeming feature.

I remember playing on something like that as a child. It was a building site we'd snuck into.

That's not a play area, it's a death-trap! Who's pocketed the other £69,500? It's not even fenced off.

Cowboys.

Everyone knows 'play' parks are just for the teenage crowd to hang around participating in underage drinking anyway

I understand where you're coming from, but thats not exactly the case near to where I live. They are used by kids and adults alike (during daylight hours) - even families take picnics, although i'm sure they have their fair share of drunken teenagers on Friday nights too

I would expect sales of bubble wrap to go up around those parts then...

Forgot the mouth area

No win no fee solicitors in that area must be rubbing their hands with glee what a completely ridiculous thing to do and makes me even more mad as last weekend my cousin got married and wasn't allowed by health and safety nazis to have a bouncy castle. What a joke but hey it's ok our council tax pays for it so not like it's real money for the council is it . Widespread consultation yeah i bet do they have many psychiatric hospitals and schools for the blind there totally stupid but what we have come to expect these days isn't it.
