improvements (play
equipment). Date
of Visual Survey
- Aug 2004 No map available The ideas and possibilities outlined below are designed to help members of the local community as they think about what could happen on this site. Nothing is fixed and alternative solutions may well emerge over the coming decade - it is for the local community to decide and enable it to happen. 1. Visual
Attributes - update 2004 This
former playground site now consists of a large
empty flat area of tarmac, where swings and a
see-saw once stood (see
photo
2),
surrounded by a margin of mown amenity grass. The
site is bounded by a stone wall, with the main
entrance via a metal gate in the north west
corner. Glebelands Road runs along down the
west side of the playground and Spink Hall Lane
passes the top edge (south) of the site.
The site is in a very good open position with
exceptional views over to the opposite
hillside. Safety The
site is open and surrounded by housing, therefore
would feel safe to enter and use. Activities
the site supports at present The
site is rarely used as the play equipment has been
removed. 2. 3. Activities
that could be supported in the
future The
playground could be reinstated with more exciting,
imaginative play spaces and equipment, such as
balance beams, earth mounds and banks, and small
spaces to build dens etc. Some of the mown
grass could be replaced with less maintenance
intensive plantings which may also increase the
visual quality of the space. Tree planting
would help screen the site from the road and some
seating could be provided for parents.
