Approval to refurbish the play area at Shakespeare Road, Westfield

Equipment in the play area at Shakespeare Road in Westfield is nearing its end of life and needs replacing shortly. Refurbishing and retaining the play area at Shakespeare Road is a key objective in the area's neighbourhood plan and has the support of Westfield Parish Council and both local ward councillors. The Parks Service has allocated £75k from developer's contributions (S106 funded) to the scheme and all costs will be met from S106 contributions – making the project cost neutral to the Council. This investment will also reduce ongoing repair costs for the equipment; and maintenance of the play area will be more efficient as it will be re-landscaped to require less maintenance (play safety surface will replace grass wherever possible).
