Kilmington Playing Field – Children’s play area on wet-pour surface

The play area – as seen in this photograph –Photo taped off area

has been taped off and should not be used by any children until it has been thoroughly cleaned and made safe.

The very wet and damp weather of recent months has made the wet-pour very slippery so the Parish Council’s Playing Field Advisory Committee has had to make the unfortunate decision to close the area until it has been thoroughly cleaned.
At the present time, this is anticipated to be done w/c 24 February.
We apologise for any inconvenience caused.
