Play Equipment
Church Walk – the flat swings are currently out of action due to a rotten post. We are waiting for a replacement but don’t know how long this may be unfortunately.
Recreation Field – most of the new play equipment (funded by a grant from North Somerset Council’s Improving Play Spaces Fund) is now open for use. However, the swings are currently fenced off to allow the newly seeded grass to germinate so please discourage youngsters from using the swings while the fence is in place. Also, the zipwire is out of action because the cable needs to be replaced. Again, we are working as fast as we can to get this sorted.
If you have problems with potholes on local roads they should be reported to North Somerset Council via their website or by ringing 01934 888888.
Cost of living crisis – North Somerset Council have collated information and guidance about the support available to help people during these challenging times.
