A new play area is in the process of being built behind Micklefield Community Centre, replacing the old play area previously sited in Forest Way. Local residents have already had trouble with people hanging around the construction site and one resident had their greenhouse destroyed by rubble at the site being thrown. The site has now been made more secure.

03 May : 17:54  | I've used the park with my 3 & 7 year olds 3 times in the last week or so. Each time we were the only ones there. Other than lots of stones all over the floor there was no sign of any litter or needles or anything else sinister. If parents are responsible and make a quick check before hand there is no risk of a child picking up anything nasty. We usually use the park at Kingsmead which really is a magnet for mouthy teenagers so it was refreshing to be in a play area where I'm not cringing about the language my children are hearing. |
