Children’s Play Areas
Late last year Councillors were told equipment at 3
children’s play areas in St. Mellons would be removed
because it had “failed” Health and Safety inspections.
“Orchard Park play area” the nearest to Trowbridge
was one of them. Trowbridge has lacked a play area
for years.
The redevelopment of Trowbridge Shopping Centre
includes a £39,000 contribution for a play area at
the ABC park and becomes available when the first of
the new homes is occupied. The constant delays to the
shopping centre has meant that there will be further
delay in building the homes and then providing the
play area.
The Wales & West Housing Association development at
Hendre Isaf (bottom of Hendre Road) includes a
contribution of about £20,000 which we ear-marked
for a play area at Cemaes Crescent. Although not
enough to provide a good play area we are looking
for additional funds.
