Playgrounds Decommissioning
The Council is spending over £1m bringing new
and improved playgrounds throughout the town. There were too many,
too poor quality playgrounds that couldn't be maintained properly.
The way forward is to have fewer but better quality playgrounds.
Specialists have told us that, even with less provision, Harlow
still has more "playground" for each person than most other
towns.
The following playgrounds are being
closed:
|
Blackbush spring
|
|
Briars
|
|
Cock Green
|
|
Denby Grange
|

Larger alternative playgrounds are no more
than15 minutes walk away from all the above sites and there are
closer smaller sites. The Adventure Playground in the Town Park
also has some really exciting equipment for older children.
It is our intention to return all
decommissioned playgrounds to grassland.
This consultation has now closed.
