PLAYGROUND SAFETY CHECKS
The playground is an important asset of the village and is enjoyed by both children and adults. It needs to be safely maintained and in order to do so regular checks need to be undertaken. From 2025 we are looking for someone to take on this role. Would you be able to undertake these checks? If so then please contact the clerk for further details (Alan Moorcroft, clerk@coatesparish.org.uk or 07999 – 803 225). These checks are not onerous, but they are important.
