Play AreaAs you’ll already know the Harrowgate Farm play area is not in ownership of the Council but is the responsibility of the three developers, Wimpey, Yuill and Persimmon.  However, the Council have been working with the developers to enable responsibility for both the open space and the play area to transfer over to the Council.

An agreement has been reached that each developer will give the Council £10,000 to enable the play area to be adopted and brought up to an acceptable standard.  One developer has already paid their contribution and the other two will hopefully do so by the end of this month (April 09).  Following receipt of the money, work will be carried out to the play area to bring it up to an acceptable standard. 

It is anticipated that this work will take place in the next two to three months.

The play area is to be cleaned this week.

Cllr. M Burton

Rear lane leading to Bensham Park
Although the Council does not own this land they do have right of access over it. The Council will, in the near future when resources are available, put road plainings down to improve the surface

Harrowgate Farm Play Area
The Council has finally reached an agreement with persimmons with regards to the land transfer and once the paperwork is complete the Council will repair the play area. I'll post further updates as soon as I hear anything further
