Keep Hangleton Park Shelter
Taking down the shelter would be detrimental to the local community and we think that it should just repaired instead of collapsing the shelter!

Council response
Response given at the Environment, Transport & Sustainability Committee on 9 October 2018:
"Thank you for your petition. I’m pleased that the shelter
has served the community well for over 30 years but, unfortunately,
is now at the end of its useful life.
I asked officers for a costing to remove and replace it and that
came out at nearly £10,000 and so I then asked that a
quotation from a Blacksmith be obtained for a repair. This cost
would be £3,730 plus VAT. Both of these sums are well beyond
the budget set aside for children’s play equipment for which
there are very many requests as you can imagine.
I’m afraid that due to the shelter’s very poor
condition it will have to be removed for safety reasons.
Perhaps the community could investigate other, external sources of
funding and fund raising".
