Playgrounds

In April 1999 we set up the Playground Service with the aim of drastically improving the quality and response time to the maintenance and inspection of our play areas.

The service now boast an emergency response time of 30 minutes to any problems that may occur.

For information on the functions of the Playground Officer role and the various interactions with other officers, departments and outside bodies which take place in order to provide the Playground Service please contact us.
