Leven Park play area to open within days

Following a site visit last week, I am delighted to confirm the Leven Park play area is now in a suitable condition to be opened.

The necessary post installation inspection by ROSPA has been arranged for Thursday 22nd August. Once this has been completed, and assuming no problems have been identified, we should be able to open the play area in time for the Bank Holiday weekend.

Whilst this is later than we had previously hoped, and whilst there are a few minor snagging issues that will be addressed by Care For Your Area in the coming days, we will finally have a long overdue play area on the east side of Yarm for families to use and enjoy for years and decades to come.

Although we have not experienced any noticeable anti-social behaviour or vandalism whilst the installation work has been ongoing, the CCTV camera will remain in place for now. The long-term need for this will be reviewed in the coming months with a view to its removal if it is felt to be no longer required.
