Swings, railings etc gone

It wouldn't wash in the private sector... Budgets cut there too, but targets stretched... People are delivering more, with less...

The workmen told me the swings were being removed as they were deemed dangerous and there is currently no funding for replacements.

A very sad reflection on the times we live in.  Whatever the economic problems we face, our councillors have clearly got their priorities wrong.

I've just driven past the rec and encountered a shock to see the swings and rails etc have been taken away.
Whether this is for a new layer of tarmac or not it has come as a bit of a shock.

Does anyone know the reason? Is it down to tarmac?
