Hilton

Play Park.  The surface of the Play Park has deteriorated over recent months.  A number of potential tripping hazards have appeared between the edge of the floor tiles and the grassed areas.  In addition, the build up of aglae has returned and has made the surface of the tiles very slippery when wet.  The Parish Council has decided therefore, that the park should be closed until these problems have been rectified.  The Council also agreed that a long-term solution to improve the surface was required, and work to achieve this has started.
