OUT OF COMMISSION: The bird’s nest apparatus at Dawson Road play area, Barnard Castle
NO sooner has Barnard Castle Town Council repaired one piece of unsafe equipment in a play park, than it now has to cordon off another in a different area.
The council’s services committee heard that flat swings had been replaced at Bouch Way park, but problems had arisen with the Hucks bird’s nest apparatus at Dawson Road play area.
Town clerk Martin Clark said: “It is a big piece of equipment. A routine inspection revealed significant issues with it. It identified that the existing cross beams need to be replaced.
