From "Tiverton Open Space playground refurbishment."
Go to the project
There were many and significant issues outlined to you by Friends of Tiverton Green and most remain unresolved.
Most pressingly now we need a significant and long overdue upgrade to the existing playground. I am shocked and quite frankly disappointed in the current state of the park. It is dangerous, especially as the zip-wire and swing are broken. There are huge gaps, and the slide is not fit for purpose.
1. Repairing the hole in the MUGA surface
2. Cleaning up the paint spills in the MUGA surface
3, Removing graffiti from the bin seals and from MUGA surface. INSTALLING ALL NEW DUAL BINS IN THE PARK.
4. Repairing the cycle track signage ( as cycle track signage is missing from certain posts)
5. Cutting the grass shorter and much more frequently
6. Replanting the flower meadow on the west side of the park (there is no meadow area elsewhere)
7. Clearing vegetation from the base of all younger trees and installing weed control matting around their bases with a covering of mulch
8. Watering vulnerable young trees during periods of low rainfall
9. Repairing damaged benches and other furniture (the two benches within the play park need to be urgently repaired/replaced)
10. Repairing and resurfacing cracked and dangerously subsiding paths
11. Keeping paths clear of weed encroachment
12. Blocking the hole underneath the dividing fence between the main area and the cycle track. It is presently too high and is not touching the earth, so dogs are able to enter the cycle track.
13, Keeping the dog excrement bag dispenser topped up. There are currently no bags.
14. General litter clearance
