Works to erect a fence around the green at the children's play area at the Scheme Houses are now almost completed. The fencing scheme has been funded through my neighbourhood budget and the Area Action Partnership (AAP) and it follows numerous complaints earlier this year from parents and residents about traffic driving across the grassed area.
The fencing will prevent cars, trailers and caravans accessing and parking on the green. This ruined the grass and looked unsightly for residents and visitors alike. Clearly this practice also presented a danger to children using the play area.
The works will be finished within the next week or so when a secure gate has been put in place to allow access for grass cutting machinery and emergency vehicles.
