Lockdown Nov 2020 - Playground


Government legislation and guidelines for the lockdown period allow outdoor playgrounds to remain open.

The Parish Council discussed the changing position on Monday, and agreed that the playground would remain open, and the restrictions agreed in July would continue to apply.

Whilst the guidelineshave some exceptions, in general this means only using the playground as a household or bubble, not meeting to play with others, and minimising the time spent outside the home. 

In particular we request that parents/children do not attend en-masse after school, and please observe the restrictions put in place in July:

  • A maximum of 20 people on site (adults and children combined)
  • Each piece of equipment is only to be used by one household or bubble at a time
  • Please clean points of contact on equipment before using (bring your own sanitising wipes or similar)
  • Thoroughly wash hands before and after attending
  • Do not use the site if you are required to self-isolate
  • Consider your family risk profile when deciding if it is appropriate to use the facility
  • No eating on site

The enhanced anti-microbial cleaning regime will remain in place.

Updated 13th November 2020:  The playground will now close at 3pm on weekdays. No one should be on the site after 3pm on weekdays.
