Mum slams ‘divisive’ sign banning children from using estate's play area

A mum has slammed a play area which can only be used by children on one housing estate. Becca Martin took her four-year-old son Charlie to the private playground last weekend, NorthWalesLive reports.

The play area is on the Fairways Estate off Holt Road, Wrexham, and features a sign informing her they were not allowed to enter as they live outside of the estate. The notice states: “The play areas and open spaces are for the exclusive use of the residents of the Fairways Estate and their invitees and no others.”

The sign is understood to have been put up by Holmzone Limited, a resident-controlled management company, which charges people who live on the estate an annual fee to pay for the park’s upkeep. Directors said it was justified due to the playground being privately owned and maintained.
