Following pressure from local councillors, Shepway Council have removed an unsafe climbing frame from the Firs Lane play area in Cheriton. Councillor Peter Gane called the council to find why the gates were locked in July, to be told the equipment had failed County safety tests in APRIL.
Three months ago, on 21 April, Kent County Council inspected and declared the play area between Firs Lane and Shaftesbury Avenue in Cheriton unsafe, due to broken protective flooring and an old and worn climbing frame. This information was then passed to Shepway Council, who have taken almost no action. Shepway are quick enough to publicise internal staff problems, but on an important safety issue, they've remained pretty much silent to press and local residents.
