Swings have been removed from a much-loved play area at St George Park. The playground in the park - not long ago listed as the fourth best in the country - also had its see-saw removed at the end of July.
The council has now confirmed that they were removed due to safety concerns and the frame will be taken down. Play in St George Park, a voluntary group of local parents trying to raise money for the playground, posted on its Facebook page that it “will discuss with the council if a replacement or alternative can be provided in the meantime whilst we continue to seek to raise funds for a full park replacement”.
Although Bristol City Council has confirmed that a see-saw replacement is on its way, it is yet to confirm whether or not council funding will be used to replace the swings. A local parent with three young children expressed her concerns over the uncertainty of a replacement for the swings.
