Brigham Play Park

Brigham Parish Council were given ownership of Brigham Play Park in 2012 by a group of volunteers.

Almost 30% of our precept is spent maintaining the equipment. We do not own the field or the path up to the School Field.

We have a list of maintenance issues which are being dealt with. This is the plan from our meeting held on the 16th January 2024.

Outstanding Issues and actions

Actions for Cllrs

• Edges of wet pour – fill holes with builders’ sand to prevent weed growth

•  External edging – request grass cutting in school field includes up to the playpark edge 

• New white paint on gates – Cllrs to paint top of gates white to assist those with poor sight.

• Weeds – already a twice-yearly programme in place to remove weeds, this should be improved once holes are filled and grass from school field cut closer to the playpark edges.

Actions for paid repair

• 1 broken gate closure system – unsure of how this can be remedied, continued discussion required.

• Broken centre attachment on slide equipment – attempt to repair or fill hole with protective foam.

• Broken rope on slide equipment- attempt to reattach, if unable to remove metal end
