Dear Fellow Villagers
As you may be aware the Ridlington playground area now has equipment that is upwards of 15 years old and as such, despite remedial works is naturally deteriorating to a point where it is becoming no longer fit for purpose.
The Trustees have been advised by RoSPA that we should consider decommissioning the area before the end of its operating life and in line with our insurance responsibilities and more importantly our duty of care to its users, regrettably, the Trustees have taken the decision that the play area, in its current format, will be dismantled with immediate effect.
If there is sufficient interest in the village to replace this facility, we would be delighted to speak with anyone who would like to form a working party and would be prepared to lead fund raising and project manage this option, obviously with the support and input from the Trustees.
Kind Regards,
Ruth, Julie, Adele and Simon
